According to Bausch and Lomb, an eye care company known to all of you no doubt, you can do this for soft Toric lenses, so the same process would generally be applicable to soft lenses as long as you:
1. have not damaged the lens in the process of rehydrating it (if stuck you must SOAK it OFF first before moving it to a case to soak in solution for rehydration.
2. leave it in solution for a full disinfection period (follow the directions of your system). If it was dried out, bacteria could have multiplied on the surface while it was exposed. SO YOU NEED TO disinfect it for a full period per the directions of your system. Do NOT try to cut corners. In that period of time, it should also be fully rehydrated if it will ever be. If it does not rehydrate, do not try to use the lens of course.
3. If the lens is not comfortable when inserted, go to your optometrist or ophthalmologist and have the lens checked to be sure it still properly fits your eye.
CARE FOR A DRIED OUT (DEHYDRATED) OR
DRY LENS
If a soft, hydrophilic contact lens is exposed to air while off the eye, it may become dry and brittle and need to be rehydrated. If the lens is adhering to a surface, such as a counter top, apply saline or rinsing solution before handling.
To rehydrate the lens:
Handle the lens carefully.
Place the lens in its storage case and soak the lens in a recommended rinsing and storing solution for at least one hour until it returns to a soft state.
Clean and disinfect the rehydrated lens using a recommended lens care system.
If after soaking, the lens does not become soft, the lens should not be used until examined by the eye care practitioner.
If you still have doubts, do NOT use the lens until you have it checked. Your eyes are too valuable to risk a corneal abrasion or infection. If the lens feels right and you can see properly after reinserting it following rehydration and disinfection, you will likely be able to salvage the lens!
