You're Cleaning Your Contacts Wrong, Probably
Season 3
Episode 6
99% of adults who wear contacts admit to breaking some cardinal lens rules: sleeping in them, washing them in water and so on. Many contact-wearers may brush off these accidents, but improper lens care can have gross — and sometimes serious —consequences. Reactions collaborates with Anna Rothschild from Gross Science to explain why unclean contacts can cause problems and how to prevent them.
