Be particularly careful to wash your lenses properly - that's the key! I do it (with prescription lenses, but same principle) by putting the lense in the palm of my hand (which is dry at this stage), and then cuppling my hand and filling it up with solution. Stick a finger from the other hand inside the lense and rub around in circles for 5-10 seconds. Pick up the lense, empty the solution from your hand, but then rinse the lense in solution again before you put them in your eye or into storage.
Make sure you're putting them in the correct way. When your lenses are inside out they won't look like a nice cup, they will have this kind of shape \__/ (when you see it, that will make a whole lot more sense!)
I always wanted to get coloured ones, but I've always worn different brand lenses in each eye, so the colours are different. Shame.
ETA: Not sure about others, but the solution that I use is really just ionised water. I can't see how that would need to be tested on animals. It doesn't contain any chemicals, or anything particularly radical.
Thank you heaps for the advise!!
Yeah, the solution i have is like..water and something else, but like.. 0.9 % of that something else.
Yeah i know it can be dangerous, hence why i was cautious with it, if it starts to hurt, i wont use them anymore..If i can see/feel them moving, i'll just take them out >.<
I'm not silly enough to continue and try to ride it through, I'm an artist..i NEED my eyes XD
