Contact lense questions...? Dailies?

Question

So I'm 12 years old and I just started wearing Focus Dailies contact lenses. LUV EM! 2 questions though, that might make my contact wearing days easier.

1. Instead of washing my hands with soap and water every time I put my contacts in and out, can I use a hand sanitizer such as Purrell or Germ-X?

2. Say I wear my contacts like for an hour one day. I put them in my case and solution because I want to swim or something, and I don't use them for the rest of the day. The next day, can I use them?? I hate to have to waste contacts, especially since they are kind of expensive. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

1. Yes, sometimes I don't even wash my hands if they haven't been like somewhere dirty lol

2.It's fine seriously nothing will happen to you I would say the maxium you can wear dailies is atleast two days because you're not wearing your contacts for exactly 24 hours a day so it'd be fine if you used them more.

Answer 2

I also have dailies. I love them. To answer your questions:

1. I would wash with soap and water each time. Hand Sanitizers usually leave a residue on you r hands.

2. If you had 30 day, 15 day, etc., contacts you could. With Dailies, you are not supposed to. You shouldn't even have solution with them. Right when you take them out, you throw them away. I was told you can't put them back in.

If you have any more questions, please message me

Answer 3

You can absolutely use Purell, just don't want germs in your eyes!  And you can also wear them the next day if you only wore them for a short period, that's no problem either!  Good luck!
