'Store it in a cool, dry place"???

Question

I've seen the precautions of the contact lens cleaner.
It states: Store in a cool, dry place.
Can someboby explain to me why it is necessary please?

Answer 1

Because heat and moisture are damaging to the product.

Answer 2

The fridge may be cool...but it isn't dry. It's quite humid inside the fridge - which is why the crisper drawers have those little sliders to set how much humidity you want inside since some veggies like it dryer than others. If the jar is sealed, this won't make a difference though. But I would keep the jar away from other foods that tend to pick up food odors - like butter and cheese.

Answer 3

Bacteria thrive in warm and moist spaces. Putting cleaner full of bacteria on your contact lenses wont do any good. You'll end up with an eye infection.

Answer 4

Well, extreme temperatures can cause the solution of cleaner to react and be "spoiled." That basically mean it'll be damaged and you won't be able to use it. Just store it at room temperature, don't stick it in your freezer or on top of the heater.
