The upright design with two separate lens compartments keeps the lenses separate and organised. Thanks to its compact size, the case fits easily amongst other lens products or in a toiletries bag. The simple clasp and fixed compartments make this accessory suitable for everyday use. A practical case for anyone who wears rigid lenses and wants to store them neatly. Read more
SMEYEL hard lens case is designed for storing and disinfecting rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses. The case has an upright cylindrical design with two separate lens compartments, allowing you to store the left and right lenses separately. The hard lenses are held in place by two built-in silicone holders, which keep the lenses gently but securely in position. A clear L/R marking helps prevent mix-ups, and the leak-proof screw cap keeps the solution inside, even when you’re on the move. The case is made of plastic with soft silicone clips. A clean lens case, replaced in good time, is an essential part of a hygienic lens care routine.
You use the RGP lens case to store and disinfect rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses in suitable solution. The case has a freestanding design with two separate lens compartments, ensuring the left and right lenses remain separate. The silicone holders grip the lenses gently but firmly. Fill the case with fresh solution before each use and do not top up with old solution. Store the lenses in the case for the duration recommended by the care system. Use the solution recommended for the lenses. This ensures the lenses remain clean and disinfected in accordance with the system specified for them. If you have any questions about the correct solution, your contact lens specialist can advise you.
RGP stands for rigid gas-permeable. In Dutch, these lenses are often referred to as ‘form-stable’ or ‘hard’ lenses. Modern RGP lenses are oxygen-permeable, which helps to maintain the health of the cornea during prolonged use. Rigid lenses are smaller and sturdier than soft lenses and are fitted by a contact lens specialist. They require their own cleaning and storage system, which differs from that used for soft lenses. The RGP lens case is designed specifically for these lenses: the upright design with lens compartments keeps the lenses organised and separate. For advice on the lens type and care, the wearer can consult a contact lens specialist, who will tailor the care routine to the lens and the wearing pattern.
RGP lenses are smaller and sturdier than soft lenses. A case with separate compartments helps you organise the lenses and keep the left and right lenses separate, preventing them from being mixed up. The silicone clips hold the hard lens in place during storage and disinfection, preventing the lens from moving around loosely in the case. A standard, flat lens case is often sufficient for soft lenses, but for rigid lenses, this case with compartments offers better organisation and a firmer grip. Always use the case that is suitable for your lens type and the solution you use. Your contact lens specialist can advise you on which case is suitable for your lenses.
According to the product specifications, the case can be used for both soft and rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses. In practice, however, the case is primarily intended for rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses; for soft contact lenses, a standard, flat lens case is usually sufficient. Use the case that is suitable for your lens type and the solution you use. Always store soft lenses in a clean case with fresh solution, in accordance with the care system recommended for the lenses. If you are unsure which case is suitable, ask your contact lens specialist for advice. They can advise you on the type of case and solution that are suitable for the lenses and the wearer’s wearing habits. This ensures that care is tailored to the type of lens.
No. Do not use tap water to rinse, clean or store contact lenses.
A practical guideline is to replace the case every three months, or sooner if it is damaged, visibly soiled, discoloured or worn. A worn or soiled case can promote bacterial growth, which compromises the hygiene of your lens care routine. Check the case regularly – for example, when opening a new bottle of solution – for cracks, build-up or loose silicone clips. Replace the case if any of these issues arise. Replacing the case in good time ensures that the storage and disinfection of the lenses remain hygienic. The case is sold individually, so you can easily replace it. If you have any questions about how often to replace it in a specific situation, your contact lens specialist will provide advice tailored to your needs.
Use the solution recommended for rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses, such as an all-in-one solution for RGP lenses like GP Multi. Not every solution is suitable for every lens material, so follow the manufacturer’s instructions and the advice of your contact lens specialist. Fill the case with fresh solution each time and do not top up old solution with new. Do not use tap water, bottled water, distilled water or saliva for the lenses or the case. In the case of stubborn deposits, a separate cleaner may be required before placing the lens in the case. The contact lens specialist will determine which solutions and in what order are suitable for the wearer’s lenses, to ensure that cleaning and disinfection are carried out as intended.
Discard any used solution after inserting your lenses and clean the case according to the instructions for the solution you are using. Then leave the case to dry, clean and open. Do not use tap water for the lens case or the lenses, as tap water is not suitable for contact lenses. Next time, fill the case with fresh solution and store the lenses in it. Touch the inside of the compartments as little as possible and keep the case away from make-up, bathroom products and other liquids. A clean, dry case helps ensure a hygienic lens care routine. If you are unsure about the cleaning method to use with a particular solution, follow the instructions on the packaging and the advice of your contact lens specialist.
Do not use this case as a substitute for the special case supplied with a hydrogen peroxide system. Hydrogen peroxide systems involve a neutralisation step and a dedicated case; the neutralisation process only works properly with the correct case. You should therefore always use hydrogen peroxide solution in accordance with the product instructions and with the case supplied with it. The RGP lens case is intended for use with a cleaning and storage solution or an all-in-one solution for rigid gas-permeable lenses. If you wish to use a peroxide system, use the corresponding case and follow the neutralisation time. Your contact lens specialist can advise you on which system and which case are suitable for the lens and the wearer’s wearing pattern.
The RGP lens case has two separate lens compartments, one for the left lens and one for the right lens. The case is therefore suitable for one pair of rigid gas-permeable lenses. The L/R marking helps to prevent the lenses from being mixed up, which is important as the left and right lenses often have different prescriptions or fits. Always store the correct lens in its corresponding compartment and follow the marking. It is recommended that each wearer has their own case; do not share a case with others. The case is sold individually, so you can keep enough in stock for each wearer and for replacements. Use fresh solution in both compartments each time you use the case.
