By Jon Butt If youve ever accidentally put contact lens cleaner in the eye you know what we are talking about. Yes, it itches and it burns and you feel like gouging out your own eyes. What you need to do in such a situation is stay calm (Right! With all that itching, its really easy to stay still) Contact lens cleaner is not corrosive to the eye, though if left inside for a long time can harm it. If you have had such a cleaner accident, remove your contact lenses immediately and liberally splash cold water into your eyes. Wait for sometime before you insert the contact lens in the affected eye again. If itching, redness or watering persists, go to your eye doctor immediately. How Did The Cleaner Get In My Eye?
