I don't use daily disposable lenses very often, though of course as they can be fiddly to insert, I have also dropped these and reinserted after cleaning.

I hope that's an acceptable practice. Me personally, if I wore daily disposable contact lenses, I'd just throw it away if I were to drop it on the floor. My lap . . . maybe not.

Do we have any eye care professionals who want to weigh in on this issue?
