Is it okay to wash...?

Question

To wash out the contact lenses case and contacts with tap water apart from the cleaning solution...

Thanks loads..

Answer 1

they should both only be cleaned with the proper solution, tap water is not sterile and can cause a bacterial infection, if you rinsed your case then used the saline solution that would probably be ok.

Answer 2

Nope.  Tap water is not good for contacts or cases.  It has a lot of pathogens that our eyes can't handle.  You should only use contact solution or disinfectants for your contacts and case.  Remember to replace your case every 3 months as well.
