Are these contacts safe to wear?!


Question: Are these contacts safe to wear?
I haven't touched my contact lenses in about two weeks i left them in the case with the solution for about two weeks now cause i was busy and instead used my glasses but i want to use them now since i have time to put them in BUT since i didn't touch them for two weeks the solution smells like vinegar there isnt not discoloration and the solution didn't change any color still clear.
so are they safe to use still like right now?

not really



With most brands of solutions, the lenses can be left in storage for up to 30 days ( multi purpose solutions )

Of course, you didn't say what solution you use, which would have helped a lot to know , but the fact it smells like vinegar isn't a good sign.

You should inspect the lenses and inside the case for any small dark spots that shouldn't be there. If they look OK , I would still put in new solution and let them sit over night again before using them.

Take them out of that solution, chuck it out and soak them in new solution for 24 hours. Then put one lens in . If it stings or hurts immediately then teh set is gone , don't put the other one in. Part of whether they are safe though depends on how long they were supposed to last for and how long you had used them for before you stopped wearing them. Don't take risks though , if in any doubt use a new set.
