where else to put contacts
 

Im home for a couple days from moving to austin (btw roomate chick is a TOTAL PSYCHO, lemme know if you want a trip report), and I just realized that I left my contact case and liquid in austin.

I am broke, really dont wanna go buy more (have about 4 bucks to my name) and my eyes are really starting to hurt.

whaddya think guys? distilled water?

these just happen to be my last contacts, which I've been wearing for about a month longer than I should.

god I love college broke.

for a few days just used dixie cups and water. i'd just use tap water but i'm lazy like that.

Shot glasses and tap water will be fine.

I've done this before. Of course the girl I slept with that night thought she was helping me clean out the bathroom and washed the shot glasses for me, so I don't know if my contacts would have been OK or not. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

DON'T use distilled water. Saline solution has salt in it just like your natural tears. Putting them in your eyes after soaking in distilled water is going to pull the water out of the contacts into your eyes and dry them out (osmosis).

Just put them in tap water. Tap water will do the same thing, but to a much lesser extent. It will take your eyes a little while to moisten them, but it won't hurt your eyes.

I've used the solution from an I.V. bag before, so if you happen to see an unattended ambulance........

Putting contacts in tap water isnt so bad, but they wont feel too great when you put them in your eyes in the morning. Probably should yawn a couple of times before putting those contacts in so your eyes are at least more moistened.

ive had water [censored] up contacts, they were all enlarged and weird, i would keep them in your eyes and drink a lot of water.

Heheh, well you knew it was coming. I was asking myself if I could resist saying it when I clicked on the thread.
