Rainwater and conatcts.

Hi . I have a question to ask . My friend yesterday had rainwater go into his eyes a drop or so while wearing contacts . Since this is the first time it had happened to him he removed them immediately by cleaning his hands with a sanitiser and removing them and dosvatdeded them forever . He wants to know if this happens next time should removal be done immediately or can he wait so he can go back home and remove them ? Is there a risk of amoeba keratitis in the second scenario ?

You could go home and remove the contacts. After which you need to clean them , befor re-using .

If he carries the case with him, he can simply remove them and put them in the case till he reaches home and cleans them well. He can reuse the contact lens after cleaning. Maskatieyeclinic Opposite Charni Road station east, Mumbai

Direct rain water doesn't contain any parasites.... Unless its is coming with some dirt of roof/tree/ or even umbrella?!
