Quick help,..lost contact case
If you forget your contact stuff and have your contacts in, what are some alternaitves.
I refuse to go out at 2AM to get another case, plus I am not at home and have no cash on me. Leaving them in is not an option. Anyone have any ghetto suggestions? |

Re: Quick help,..lost contact case
I've used Dixie cups or glasses before with saline or just tap water to keep them wet overnight. Just make sure someone doesn't wonder why these little cups are set out half full of water and dump them down the drain.

It isn't sterile, and contains microorganisms that have the potential to enter your eye and cause blindness, such as Acanthamoeba. http://www.eyemdlink.com/Condition.asp?ConditionID=42 |
