Have you all ever went home and fell asleep
(passed out) with your contacts in, and lost
one or both, and found them when you woke up, like on the floor or wherever all dried out, but put them back in the case with saline, and they come back like normal, and you wear em again? I have, and that is the longest sentence I have ever written on this MB.
NO! I HAVEN’T! …oh wait… thats because I dont wear contacts… As a side note a tattoo’ed guy came into the store today and I was talking to him when I noticed he had lizard eyes… the pupils looked like up and down slits. Where does one get contacts like that?? How do you ask your opthamologist?
You know, a friend of mines daughter has some
funky contacts. Mom told me they have all kinds of neat stuff, like spirals, weird colors, etc, you just have to pay a little bit more.
Yep. Sometimes the ol’ trick doesn’t work and one of the little bastards causes massive problems. One time in high school I had this happen. I put them back in my case with saline solution. A few minutes later, they seemed normal, so I popped them in. Everything was fine until geometry class, when one of them launched a full-on assault. It’s so hard to be tact in a social situation when you feel like someone’s stabbing you in the eye.
On a side note, I was once at a friends house, and didn’t have my case, so I borrowed a couple cups to put water in for my contacts. The next morning we drank em with the coffee…We couldn’t remember who had left or right…
I’ve fallen asleep and had my contacts not only dry out, but suction themselves to my eyeballs. They’re hell to get out after that…there aren’t enough eyedrops in the world to loosen the iron grip of dried contacts.

I had all the solution leak out of my contact lens case once and they dried out. I soaked 'em the next night and they came back just fine. The moral of the story is if you’re going to spend the night at the Little AleInn in Rachel, NV, put your contact lens case on a flat surface like a night stand. Don’t just toss it into your overnight bag. Trying to investigate the Restricted Zone with binoculars is a bitch if you’re wearing glasses.
