A multiple flow volume dispensing cap is provided which generally includes a bottom portion for attachment to a squeezable container for holding a sterile solution, such as a contact lens solution, an orifice in the bottom portion for enabling fluid flow therethrough, and a top portion having multiple conical members projecting therefrom. The top portion is rotatably mounted to the bottom portion by means of a centrally disposed pin protruding from the bottom portion. Each conical member includes a flow passage for enabling solution to be dispensed in a direct stream or in droplets. By rotating the top portion about the pin, such that a selected conical member is aligned with the orifice, a user of the device can select the fluid flow rate and flow direction that is needed to accomplish a particular task. A lid may be provided which includes annular members configured to engage the conical members in order to prevent contamination of the sterile solution. The annular members provide an air tight seal without contact between dispensing ends of the conical members and the lid.
