In winter, eyes are more sensitive: cold, heating, wind, and dry environments cause contact lenses to accumulate more deposits and dehydrate faster.
And although the Multi-Purpose Solution is designed to clean, hydrate, and protect your contact lenses, many users make small mistakes during winter that can cause discomfort, blurred vision, or even irritation.

Here are the 5 most common mistakes and how to avoid them to keep your contact lenses clean, soft, and comfortable throughout the season.

1. Cleaning contact lenses with hands full of moisturizing cream

In winter, we use more cream on our hands and face.
But if you put on your contact lenses right after, cream residue transfers to the lens surface and causes:

• Blurred vision

• Greasy sensation in the eye

• Difficult-to-remove deposits

Solution:
Always wash your hands with soap and water just before cleaning or handling your contact lenses.

2. Storing the case next to the radiator or heater

Many people leave the case on the bedside table near the heater without realizing it.
Heat dries out the solution inside and alters its effectiveness.

Tip:
Store your case in a cool place away from heat sources.
This maintains the disinfectant capacity of the Multi-Purpose Solution.

3. Not rubbing contact lenses because it's "too much effort" in winter

Between the cold, sleepiness, and blankets... it's harder to rub them.
But in winter, there are more particles in the air, more makeup from dinners, and more dryness, which increases deposits.

What to do:
Gently rub the contact lens for 5–10 seconds with Multi-Purpose Solution.
You'll see more clarity and comfort the next day.

4. Not replacing the solution in the case every day

In winter, people are more tired, and many reuse the liquid "because there's still a bit left."
But used solution loses effectiveness and accumulates microorganisms.

Essential rule:
Every night → fresh solution.
Always.

5. Using tap water when the solution gets cold

This happens more often than it seems:
The solution is cold due to the house temperature, and some people think of "warming it up" with tap water.

Never use tap water.
Not for rinsing, not for cleaning, not for warming.
It can contain microorganisms dangerous to the eye.

If the solution is very cold, warm it for a few minutes between your hands. That's all.

An important extra: clean your case frequently

In winter, lack of indoor ventilation causes cases to accumulate more moisture and residue.

Recommendation:

• Clean the case with Multi-Purpose Solution (never water).

• Let it dry face down.

• Change it every 1–2 months.

Conclusion

Winter can be demanding for contact lens wearers, but with a good Multi-Purpose Solution and by avoiding these mistakes, your eyes will be much more comfortable.
Simple routines like rubbing, changing the solution, and keeping the case away from heat make a huge difference in your daily life.
