In general, the contact lens solution is stored in a bottle, which has warranty for one year at maximum. However, it would be expired even it's unopened during the warranty, due to the solution is made of saline and water that would be separated and lost efficiency. Meanwhile, you have to replace the solution in the case every time you place your contact lenses if you store them in the cases. It's a good way to reduce the risk of infection from the case itself.
