Can I use the same contact lens case?

I'm thinking about buying this Sanrio contact lens case that comes with:
-compact with mirror
-forceps (tweezers)
-bottle for solution
-contact lens container (screw-lid)

So the contact lens case itself is regular plastic (I think), and since the lids are painted to look pretty and all, I don't wanna waste it. So is it ok to use the same one over and over? If so, do you have any tips for cleaning them thoroughly?

And if anyone knows how to clean the bottle that holds the solution, please lemme know about that as well. Thanks ;]
Added (1). I only started wearing contacts, so please, try to understand my confusion.

Contact lenses on Survivor?

Once I turn 18 this summer I'm going to audition for Survivor. But my only issue is that I wear contacts and I can't see anything without them. And wearing glasses is not an option.
I know that contact solution is provided while on the island, but it's still so dirty and I shouldn't really be touching my eyes.

So should I audition once I turn 18, or get lazer eye surgery when I'm a bit older then audition?
I've already been waiting 4 years to be old enough to audition and I don't really want my eyes to set me back time wise and also during the game.
I just want other people's opinions, thanks!

Contact lens script?

Trying to convert my eyeglass script. Just making sure I got this right.

-1.50 -0.50 002, -1.75, -0.50 002

I'm thinking that I would need -1.75 and -2.00 contact lenses?

Keeping daily contacts in open package?

I opened a fresh pair of daily contact lenses today but decided not to wear them. The top foil layer that covers the solution and contacts were open but I just left the foil layer over the contacts with the solutions and everything. Is it still okay to wear them even if they've been left open for a day (as I'll wear them tomorrow)?

Contacts bigger than Iris?

I'm a new contact lens wearer and after i had my trial contacts I ordered soft contacts which arrived today and the prescription on the box matches the prescription the optometrist gave. They're the exact same brand and measurements but when i put them in this morning, i noticed that the contact was bigger than the iris of my eye but I've never noticed this before. Is this normal and is it ok if i wear them?

Both my contact lenses say right eye only. Is it okay to use one in my left?

Just got back from opticians with some new contacts and realised they both say right eye only. They are two different strengths, surely they are exactly the same other than that though? Is it alright to use them as my prescription States and ignore the right eye only bit?

Freshlook Radiance on Dark Eyes? - 1

Well im getting new contacts on Wed and I'm really stuck on what color i should get. I have always gotten compliments for my big, black eyes. But i've been wanting to get color contacts for a while now. Im not a big fan of change and I wasn't sure if I should keep my natural, already nice eye color. I heard that Freshlook Radiance sort of keeps your eye color the same, but adds a little bit of color and illumination to your eyes. Hearing this, I'm pretty much in love with getting the contacts, but im not sure which color would go best. I want to make my eyes POP.

I have a light skin tone and black, almost dark brown hair. I really like Eden and Moonlight in the pictures on the Freshlook Site, but I'm not sure if the results will be the same. I like the fact that they are almost sea-green and will make my eyes look icy and electrifying. Im not sure about Sunrise and Autumn, unless they can make my eyes look kind of, but not really, like cat eyes, the same way the eyes are on some of the Twilight Saga characters. I Really WOULD APPRECIATE THE Help! Im going to the doctor in two days and i need to make a desicion by then! Please Help!

Also, any other suggestions would be a great help. Any other Freshlook brands and colors? How did they look on your eyes if they are dark?

Is it possible for one to lighten their pupil colour!

Please no skeptical or stupid answers. :) I'm aware that a persons genes determine their eye colour. My family has everything from blue to brown. In my case, I have an awkward auburnish orangish colour to my pupils. Not nearly as cool as a cats, though. I have grey coloured contacts lenses, but they irritate my eyes badly and I'd like to stop using them.

Anyways, I COULD be mistaken, but I think it's possible for one to darken their eyes by Sun exposure or by using certain glaucoma medications (… Right?).SO since you can possibly increase melanin in the eyes, you can decrease it too… Right?

How then? Nothing drastic, obviously. I'm not looking for a transformation from orange eyes to BLUE eyes… Just a few shades difference. Even if it's temporary. It's 2011! There must be something! Thanks in advance. =)

Can I wear eye drops while I have contacts in?

My eyes get dry towards the end of the day and I'm wondering if I can wear eye drops while I have them in.

What natural colored contacts should I get?

So I'm going to get contacts and since my eyes look super small without glasses, I need something to make them look as big as I had glasses on (it wasn't that big but it "filled in" the areas of my face to make it look like it).

I'm asian and super tan.
I'm not exactly sure about grey because it might seem duller and because I'm dark then idk if it'll "stand out" as people say. I want something natural because most asians have dark brown eyes so I was thinking dark blue, light brown? Maybe grey and dark green?

Are there corrective lenses to push my pupils outwards?

Many people say that my eyes are too close to the center of my face. I believe what I have is tropia, where my pupils are always slightly looking towards my nose. Is there a way to fix this? Or will forcing this alter my vision? My vision is nearsightedness, but I do not need glasses.

Did my glasses lenses get mixed up?

My right eye is A LOT worse than my left eye. Do thicker lenses get used for worse eyes? I was looking at my new glasses and noticed that the left eye lense is much thicker than the right eye lense, even though the right eye is worse.

I m trying to find words small and far away to try and read and I guess stuff is still blurry, but it s hard to tell because everything looks really WEIRD and my eyes feel like they re shuddering or something when I m not looking at something close to my face.

I m thinking maybe they mixed up my lenses (put the right eye lense into the left, etc) but I m not sure how to tell.

My brand new contacts hurt my eyes? Only the right one?

I just switched to a different kind of contact. I used to wear acuvue oasis for a couple years, about a month ago I got a new kind which is for astigmatism. They are air optix by alcon. I got a pair for free from my Dr so I used those for a month with no problems. I threw those out to use my first pair of my new contacts. I made sure the contacts were clean and not inside out. I put them in and my right contact is always hurting so bad making my eye water, my vision gets blurry and it feels like it's going to pop out. I can't take it! My left one is completely fine! I tried these Contacts for a couple days and it's always my right! The pair I had before these were exactly the same so I'm confused?

Why do my contacts bother me?

About a month ago my contacts really started to bother me, but I've been wearing contacts for about 9 years with no problems like this.

Long story short, I've been to my eye doctor two times. The first appointment he gave me allergy drops, different lenses, and different solution. It kept hurting, so he gave me a different lens and drops for dryness (I used acuve oasys last year and they completely burned my eyes). Now I feel like they've gotten worse. I can't wear them for longer then an hour without needing to take them out and I went through the eye drops within 3 hours because I needed to use them every 10 minutes. However, whenever I used them my contacts did feel a little better. Also, whenever I take my contacts out they look like they have something weird all over them.

My left eye is So much worse than my right eye. I think allergies are related because my allergies have been awful lately, but when they get bad my right eye waters and my left eye stays dry.
It's just annoying to wear glasses all the time when I want to go swimming or something. And nothing my eye doctor is doing is making any difference. Does anyone have any idea what I should do?

Thanks!
Added (1). I never really said what my eyes were doing haha
I can feel the contacts in my eyes and they get itchy and just uncomfortable. They don't really get blurry, hurt, or burn though.
My eyes are also itchy when my contacts aren't in my eyes
