Re: Perhaps a silly question, re: contacts (for eyes)

Yes thank you for those replies, but that's the problem with the contacts, you have to wash your hands with soap and water. You can't use some alcohol sanitizer because then THAT is on your hands and you definitely don't want to put your fingers around your eyes with alcohol on them. And what if there is no water around TO wash your hand with camp soap. Obviously, I know how to care for my contacts and my eyes, my questions were just related to what if you can't wash your hands; it's very easy to get dirt, dust, etc. even at home after you wash your hands. Mine are monthly lenses, not weekly. Some people can sleep in them, but not me, they dry up so much on my eye and it's hell in the morning if I accidentally sleep in them.
