I found an old contact case with the lenses still in, they were dried up but not sure if still usable...Medical history is I will do anything to not spend money on contacts, i've left them in for nine mths at a time and had two ulcersi understand the answer is no but i'm much better at taking care of my eyes now, i've washed the two caes i found with luke warm soap and water and have been letting the solution sit for over 24 hours now. i am going on vacation and my glasses are broke and i have two new contacts left but they are specialty one for my right eye only astigmatism and feel funny on my left eye.
