Proper storage in a Volk Sterilization Case or Tray is recommended to prevent damage.

Storage and Handling

Store the lens in a clean, dry environment at room temperature. Note that colored rings may discolor with certain disinfectants or after multiple reprocessing cycles, though this does not affect functionality. Avoid sterilizing Volk black leatherette or clamshell lens cases to ensure longevity.
