Hard and dry contatcs?

Question

at the movie theatre my contact fell out so i put it in my purse. when i got home it was dry and hard.i put it in solution and it crickled up? is it still safe to wear or do i get a new pair at the eye doctor's office? they are temporary ones that i'm testing. ( i just started wearing contacts.)

Answer 1

It sounds like the contact does not fit your eyes properly if it fell out at the theatre.  You will need to get a new pair at the doctor's office.  Also be sure to tell your doctor that the contact fell out at the theatre when you go.

Answer 2

i've been wearing contacts for about 3 yrs now.  That has happened to me where the contact is dry and crinkled when you put solution in it.  Don't wear it any more because it will irritate your eye.  Just go the eye doctor and ask for another pair.  Contacts are great but you have to take care of them the proper way so you won't hurt your eye.

Answer 3

Mine fell out a lot when I started. I wouldnt think its safe, get new ones.

Oh and carry a small bottle of solution and a carry case just incase that does happen, so you dont have to keep getting new ones. It shouldnt be too difficult if you have a purse.

Answer 4

When out of your eye contacts HAVE to stay in solution.  It deff. should not be used.  Not only will it more than likely hurt your eyes, it could possibly get stuck in your eye and cause you to need it surgically removed.  Just call up your eye doctor and say that the pair you were trying out is ruined, and either make an appointment with them or see if there is another trial pair you can have until you decide if that is a good brand for you.

Be sure you tell your doctor if there are any other problems you have been having with these because any problems could mean that brand isn't right for you.

Answer 5

umm no dont wear it...thats bad, and prolly covered in bacteria. If they are a sample contact, call ur doc and tell him u lost a contact and need another trial one, they should get ya one for free.

Answer 6

DON'T PUT THEM iin!!! i wore contacts for 3 years and that is one thing you don't do because it can hurt your eyes and leave them strained! also i don't know if you've experienced this but do not fall asleep with them on either! they sorta stick to your eyes and hard to peel off its really bad i hope i helped and get best answer! best regards
