What to do when you accidentally use water for contact lenses?

Okay so I had two instances. I dropped my lens on the sink and the sink was wet. I'm disinfecting it for now but did that damage my lenses? And I accidently cleaned my lens case with water because I didn't know. Will that damage anything too? I dried it with a towel after wards too. >.< help~~

Blurry contact lens?

On Wednesday I went to get a vision screening, and my eye doctor gave me new contact lens - originally I had -6.00 in the right eye and -5.50 in the left. She upped it to -6.50 in the right eye and -6.00 in the left. However, ever since that appointment (in which she gave me the new lenses to wear) I haven't really been able to see out of my left eye: my vision from that eye alone is blurry and out of focus. Should I contact the eye doctor and ask about it? She said there's an adjustment period, but it's been a few days and it hasn't gotten better.

I've tried flipping the lens, cleaning it, etc. Any other tips? Also, the contact in my left eye is Toric for astigmatism, if that helps at all. Thanks!

Can I switch between glasses and contact lenses every now and then?

I wear contact lenses pretty much every day. The days I dont wear them I wear my glasses and I always wear my glasses when I come home after work.

Is this okay? Is it okay to switch between the two every now and then during every week? Or am I better just sticking to one every day from when I wake up to when I go to sleep?

Can i use biotrue contact len solution for biofinity toric?

i bought my first pair of contact lenses ( biofinity toric) and i collected it today. Since i was in a hurry, i forgot to ask my optician what contact lens solution is suitable. When i thought of the solution, i immediately went to another opitical shop to get since i already leave the place. The salesman over there recommended me biotrue and i bought 2 sets of it (4 bottle of 300ml) which cost me $56… When i get home, i researched more about biotrue and my contact lenses. It's then i realised that the two does not match well together compared to other brands… Can i still use? Or must i throw away and buy new ones? Please help, thanks!

How should I get certain color contacts?

The manufacturer is from Korea, I am interested in their contacts that are Eye Candy, is it safe to buy online that is safe for my eyes and credit card? Can I import safely or can I get one just like it from an American company at an eye store. I don't want eye irritation or eye damage? The difference is a dark boarder on the outside of the lens, the design looks very nice.

PRK or LASEK without prescription from eye doctor?

I haven't been to the eye doctor in a while (yes, I know that's not good). I'm almost nineteen and the last time I got my eyes checked was over a year ago at the pediatrician, and I had 20/40 vision. I do not wear any form of correction lenses.

I was wondering that if my vision got worse, but one eye remained the same, would they allow to get surgery on that one eye without a prescription from the eye doctor? Could I show them my pediatrician records or something? I know that your vision must have remained stable for at least a year, and that was over a year ago.

I'm thinking about going to the eye doctor soon, and I'm worried that my vision may have gotten worse. I don't want to be dependent on anything for my vision, and so I would like to get surgery as soon as possible. I don't mind being dependent on contact lenses for a year or two, but it would be nice if I could avoid that.

Thank you in advance.

CONTACT LENSES IN SHOWER?

Hi. Earlier on I took a quick shower in which I avoided getting my head under the water because I still had my contact lenses in (monthlies). But now I'm so scared because I'm not sure if some water splashed in my eyes and I've heard that this can result in amoeba getting stuck between the lense and eye surface, then it burrows into the eye and can cause infection/blindness!

I didn't take the lenses out for 4 hours after my quick shower. So, if a spray of water did get in my eyes am I at great risk?
Would amoeba be able to burrow after just 4 hours? Advice please! Thanks x
