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

I've been wearing contacts backpacking for years. I use monthly B&L softies, can't sleep in them, and can't tolerate dirty contacts well, so I take the no-rub cleaner solution and an extra set of lenses. I also have a rare little item called a Hydro-Mat (they made them about 10 years ago, a case that you spin the top and it spins the contacts around @ high speed making lots of bubbles to clean them better) To keep them clean w/o any rubbing at all. I have a small towel that I use to *thoroughly* clean my fingertips using a small amount of the contact cleaner- it is soap, after all, and disinfectant- and a lot of friction. I have a sighting compass w/ a mirror for those times I just can't get the lenses in.
