How long should i wait to put my contacts in after a swim?

Question

I know its bad to have contacts in when you swim but i was just wondering how long i should wait after i get out of the pool before i put my contacts back in. and how long i should wait if i got my eyes wet with pool water. thanks

Answer 1

I usually forget to remove mine when swimming even though I know I should.  When I actually remember to remove the lens, I have put in back in with 15 to 20 minutes after swimming, but you could probably put it back in sooner than that unless your eyes are irritated by the chlorine in the water.
