Can I wear my contact lens if...?!


Question: Can I wear my contact lens if!.!.!.!?
Ok so this morning I was putting my contact lenses on, when one started to bug my eye, I took it off and thought I placed it in the container!. Well as it turned out the little sucker got stuck on my finger and I placed it in my pocket!. I thought I had lost it and searched frantically through out the day, now seven hours later I find it all dried up in my pocket next to a copper one cent penny!. I placed it in the solution to try and moisten it!. Now can I wear it once its soft enough, is there a risk that my eye might get infected from possible bacteria, or other infection risk!? It is my last pair of lenses before I renew my prescription, plus I don't have any glasses; lost them in Houston!. So can I wear my contact lens!? Yay or Nay !?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
When using disposable lenses its always best to reorder lenses as soon as you open the last pair, that way your supply can continue if you lose or damage one before the end of the wearing schedule!. There is no need to get a new prescription unless your vision has dramatically changed and you can't see properly with the contacts you currently have!.

Go back to the optometrist office where you got the original prescription from, and order new lenses!. They will have your prescription on file, so they will order the correct lenses for you!. There is always the possibility of getting an infection if you have scratched or torn your corneas, again get the optician to check your eyes!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I would call your eye doctor first just to make sure!. I wouldn't wear it just in case!. You don't want to take a chance and get a serious eye infection!. Sometimes, doctors office can sell you one contact until you can get your new Rx!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
