Got shampoo in my eye last night. When will it be safe to wear contacts?!


Question: I got shampoo in my eye when i was washing my hair yesterday around 3:45pm. The shampoo i used was Pantene Pro.

I decided not to wear my contacts (btw i wasnt wearing them in the shower) today since when i woke up i felt that my vision in my eye was a bit blurrier than usual. my mom says that its probably safe to wear them tomorrow, but i just wanted to see what other people think / know.

That shouldn't be a problem to wear them tomorrow at all.

You were wise not to try wearing them after...that would have really stung ! Shampoo really burns doesn't it.

Any soap residue will surely be gone tomorrow...

ok well i wear my contacts in the shower all the time and never have problems even if i do get shampoo in them. but i get fuzzy all the time as well so its totally normal i think. if it was at night then your eyes had enough time to clean themselves when your eyes are closed so you should be totally fine with wearing your contacts when ever. (unless you have pink eye or something)

You should be able to wear them tomorrow.

P.s. ever got Denorex in your eyes? Now that burns. I got some on the cornea part above my lense (the eye, not contact) and I think I have a small, very small scar from it
