What youre doing: Your contact lenses are bothering you but you dont have solution with you, so you use water or your own saliva as emergency solution to wash them before popping them back in your eye. Why you should stop: Two words: bad idea. Exposing your contact lenses to water isnt smart, and your saliva is ridden with bacteria that belong in your mouth and not your eye. Putting contacts in your mouth is like putting them in a petri dish -- you just dont want to do that, Taylor says. If you do catch yourself in a situation where your contact lenses are bothering you but you dont have access to solution and a contact lens case, Thau says your best bet is to just throw them away. paraphrased from the article What Every Contact Lens Wearer Needs To Know (But Is Afraid To Ask) by Amanda Chan
