Cloudy or hazy coloured contact lenses can often be fixed with a simple cleaning routine. Learn how to diagnose the cause and restore clear vision safely.
Quick answer
Cloudy coloured contact lenses usually clear up with a thorough rub-and-rinse cleaning using fresh multi-purpose solution. If the haze persists after cleaning, the lens may be damaged or have protein buildup that requires replacement.
Why coloured lenses get cloudy
Cloudiness in coloured contact lenses can happen for several reasons. The most common is protein or lipid deposits from your tears that build up on the lens surface over time. This is especially true if you wear your lenses for longer than recommended or don't clean them properly.
Another cause is using the wrong cleaning solution or letting your lenses dry out. Some coloured lenses have a thicker tint layer that can trap deposits more easily than clear lenses. With Bella Contour Green lenses, the vibrant green pattern and limbal ring create a beautiful look, but they still need the same careful cleaning as any other coloured lens.
When not to fix – replace instead
If your lens is torn, chipped, or has a scratch, no amount of cleaning will fix the cloudiness. In that case, throw it away and use a fresh lens. Also, if the cloudiness appears suddenly in both eyes or comes with redness, pain, or blurred vision, remove the lenses immediately and see an eye care professional.
Diagnose and fix cloudy lenses
- Symptom: The lens looks hazy or foggy when you hold it up to light, or your vision seems slightly blurred while wearing it.
- Likely cause: Protein or lipid deposits from your tears, or dried-out solution residue on the lens surface.
- Corrective action: Remove the lens, place it in your palm, and apply a few drops of fresh multi-purpose solution. Rub gently with your fingertip for 20 seconds on each side, then rinse thoroughly with solution. Soak in fresh solution for at least 4 hours before wearing again. Always use fresh solution – never top off old solution in the case.
- When to stop or replace: If the lens still looks cloudy after cleaning, or if you see any tear, chip, or scratch, discard it. Do not attempt to wear a damaged lens. Replace with a new lens from the same prescription and brand.
