Travel Size Saline Solution for Contact Lenses: How to Use It Right

Why a Travel Size Saline Solution is Essential

The travel size saline solution for contact lenses keeps your eyes hydrated, lenses clean, and bacteria at bay when you’re on the move. Its compact size meets TSA liquid restrictions and makes it easy to maintain lens hygiene anywhere.

Traveling can be unpredictable—dry airplane cabins, dusty cities, or sudden schedule changes can irritate your eyes. With a small saline bottle, you can quickly rinse and refresh your lenses without carrying bulky supplies.

How to Use Travel Size Saline Solution for Contact Lenses

To use a travel size saline solution for contact lenses correctly, wash your hands, remove the lens, rinse it thoroughly with the solution, and store it in a clean travel contact lens case. Always use fresh solution each time to prevent contamination.

1. Wash and dry your hands thoroughly.
2. Remove one lens and place it in the palm of your hand.
3. Apply a steady stream of saline solution to rinse away debris.
4. Place the lens into your contact lens case for travel filled with fresh solution.
5. Repeat for the other lens and close the case securely.

💡 Pro tip: Never reuse saline solution—it’s meant for rinsing, not disinfecting or overnight soaking.

Pairing with Travel Contact Lens Cleaner and Case

Combining a saline solution with a travel contact lens cleaner ensures thorough cleaning beyond simple rinsing. Ultrasonic cleaners, like the KentDO Ultrasonic Contact Lens Cleaner, remove stubborn deposits while saline refreshes and hydrates.

• Skipping handwashing before handling lenses.
