What To Do If Contact Lens Came In Contact With Toilet Water?
I just had toilet water splashed in my eye while cleaning out a pair of my son's poopy underwear because he had an accident. I wear contact lenses, and I took them out and the only drops had at the time were contact lens rewetting drops, so I used them.What should I do?

Hello
I reviewed the history, and I feel it is better to replace the contact lens by a new one to avoid complications like contact lens related infection.
Since toilet water can cause infection it is better to replace the contact lens.
Thank you
