What is the difference between caring for a soft contact lense and a hard contact lense?
Cleaning Hard contacts and soft contacts are very easy and similar. For soft contact cleaning, you must first wash your hands. This is so the oil and dirt on your hands don't ruin your contacts. Then remove one contact and place it in the palm of your hand with a few drops of contact solution. Rub the contact with your fingers for atleast 10 seconds to remove all the dirt. Then poor a few more drops of solution on the contact to rinse it. Put the contact back in it's case and repeat with the other contact. Hard contacts are very similar. The only difference is, after you rub them clean, instead of rinsing them with solution, rinse them with tap water. After placing contacts back in their place, be sure to fill the case with solution so they won't get dry.
