Default I'm Not Gonna Try It, You Try It

Just don't ignore any discomfort in the eye.

If the lenses are cheap daily disposables, you probably don't want to keep them - just bin them to avoid any risk. If you have any doubts about the lenses, bin them.

This sounds a bit iffy, knotlob. Have you sterilized expired contacts yourself? If not, would you?
