If I drop a contact lens when inserting it, can I still put it into my eye?

Answer: 

Good hygiene is essential for keeping your eyes healthy and your contact lenses in good condition.

If you drop a lens, you'll need to rinse it thoroughly with saline at the very least, though ideally you should clean it and disinfect it again before insertion.

Some disinfection solutions will complete the process in just a couple of hours - please check your solution instructions first.
