Hello miros18

I sincerely hope you didn't rinse the lenses with water after cleaning them. Any non-sterile water such as tap water/bottled water/sea water/lake water/brackish water etc. etc. is a big NO NO. You can get very serious infections through rinsing or putting your lenses in with tap water (do a search for Acanthamoeba keratitis).

Only use proper sterile lens solutions or sterile saline to rinse your lenses. Always make sure your hands are scrupulously clean before handling your lenses and keep your lens case clean/change it at least every 3 months if you can't keep it clean.
