Question:
Will d contact lenses come off or will d eye be affected if we wash our face with contact lenses on?
Answers:
Well having your contact lenses fall off isn't really the main concern. It is the tap water getting into your contact lenses!!
Soft contacts will absorb anything they can! If you have tap water get in your eyes you can get an eye infection called Acanthamoeba. "Acanthamoeba is a microbe that is very common in the environment, including in tap water. It has two forms: the trophozoite and the cyst. The infective form is the trophozoite, which can change into a cyst and survive a long time. These trophozoites and cysts can stick to the surface of your contact lenses and then infect your eye."
Apparently this infection is difficult to treat and can cause blindness so i think its best to be safe rather than sorry and not wear your contacts when you wash your face. This microbe can be absorbed into your contact and you will not be able to "clean" it so it comes out.
