Another one who exhales on lenses. Works very well, indeed.
I also use spit to clean my CD’s… works like a charm.
Now, for my I can’t believe I just did that… My 18 yo kitty does not take to having her canned food just plopped on a plate and served up. She likes to have the juice and the ‘meat’ (ahem) mixed together. This means I take a fork or a spoon and mix it all together for her. There have been several times where I’ve been in a hurry, and have absentmindedly stuck the utensil in my mouth… all was well until I realized that “Ew! That’s CAT food!”
For cleaning my eyeglasses, I live off of Bausch & Lomb Sight Savers. And after you use one, it still contains enough cleaning solution to clean off your monitor.
Ok… confession time I read through 4 of you saying “me too!” thinking it was glass eyes and I was thinking “how many of these people have glass eyes? How nasty is licking a glass eye”. Then I realized I was having some sort of aneurism.
I have discovered that, when in an emergency, Popping a dirty or dry contact into my mouth will clean it and moisterize it perfect to but put back in the eye.
I use monthly disposables, but wear them infrequently enough that a six month supply can last me four years. If I tried cleaning one in my mouth, however, I think I might have trouble getting it back out. I’d be afraid to tear it with my teeth, as well.
I suspect that some people’s saliva could have an adverse effect on contacts. Too acidic, for example. And I’d hate to stick a contact in my eye after it spent time in my mouth after having eaten something spicy, like hot peppers. Ouch!
I don’t wear glasses or contacts but I do have a story relating to the OP…
A friend of mine sat down and noticed a lump of ‘matter’ on the underside of his shoe and without thinking stuck his finger in it, held it up to his eye for inspection and said “I wonder if that is mud or shit?” “Well, for your sake I hope it’s mud” was my astonished reply.
