A question about contact lenses?

I'm at my grandmas house and i dont have my cleaner or saline with me. they have really bad water out here. is it bad to put them in my case with bottled water overnight?

Answer:
yeah i think it may ause infection
Yes as many bottled waters are just tap water that is bottled and a label is slapped on the bottle and they charge a high price for it. It there is a convenience store open you need to go there and get some solution for your contacts. If you have no solution you have to find some way to get some.
no ive done that b4
I have been in your shoes before, and as undesireable as it sounds, its okay to use clean bottled water to store your lenses. BUT, if you really need them to see, remember that you won't be able to put them back in tomorrow morning (not until you can rinse them with saline).

In my experience: when I tried to put them back in, the lenses felt stiff against my eye and it was quite uncomfortable. It really has something to do with saline making the lenses smoother. If you need them to see tomorrow, I would sleep with them in (I've done this many times, much to the chagrin of my opthamologist, and I have never lost a lens in my eye). They might be a little dry in the morning, but it will go away soon.

Good luck!
Ive done it before, nothing should happen just don't wear them again until you have left them disinfecting for 24 hours. If you have to wear them tomorrow then just find some solution somewhere or even some eye drops can help. Use it as solution and your contacts will be OK, just go to a corner store and get eye drops for $1.00 its better than using regular water.
Water can make them disintegrate. Get some solution for them.
u must have solution. water will make them burn and can set up infection. there must be somewhere that will have some solution because with the water ya vison will not be clear in the mornin
hello there.
i used to work for an opticians and yes it is really bad, bottled water is just as bad as tape water, what you need to do is if you have your glasses then ware them until you can get some solution from a shop or a local opticians. If you cant get any solution then you will just have to ware your glasses, as you will be putting yours eyes at risk of an infection. thank you Joanne
