If a contact is dropped on the floor is it still okay to use it?

Question

i just got contacts and i only have one pair, and i dropped one on the floor...i know i'm smart

Answer 1

Just clean it with your multi-purpose solution and do a mild rub (even if the solution is a no-rub).  You can put it in after that....you don't have to do a soak.

Answer 2

lol happens to me all the time but i just wash it out in the contact solution then let it soak in the solution for about 3 minutes then i try putting it back in...but if its bothering your eyes take it back out

Answer 3

Soak it in contact solution for awhile first ... and then make sure you have extra boxes of contacts in the future!
