Don't Try This at Home!!

I just read this on another site and thought I'd share it.

Someone posted a review of their contact lenses and said that they used a combination of "sea salt, saliva, and . . . tap water" to clean his or her contacts. Not surprisingly this person was having a problem with their 1-Day Acuvues. Being daily disposable contacts, you don't really need to clean them at all. Just wear them once and throw them away.

To review. Don't use saliva OR tap water to clean your contacts. Especially if you're using disposable contact lenses.

Why would someone want to do that. The beauty of 1 day disposables is that they are disposable. I know they were only probably trying to save money, but can you really put a price on your sight.

I agree 100%, bubble. "Sea salt, saliva, and . . . tap water." That sure sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's the saliva part that gets me. What are the ingredients "1 cup tap water, pinch of sea salt and one teaspoon of saliva?"

Bleah.
