I have no idea how something like that didn't happen to me.
I used to wear 30-day disposable contacts for like 3-4 months without ever taking them out. Would just squeeze the cleaning solution directly into my eyes every morning, give them a few heavy blinks, and then rinse with the saline.
I wasn't expecting that, that is literally insane.
Looking back, definitely lol.
At the time I was a lazy teenager / college student and just didn't really think about it. I was also poor + without insurance so had to make them last. Usually when one would tear, it would be when I was taking them out / putting them in.
I had a mate back in uni who would pour lager from a pint glass straight into his eyes if his daily contacts started to dry up. Somehow nothing bad ever came of it, I have no idea how. Inexplicable behaviour and zero repercussions.
I used to do this as well... I think I went for 6 months once... not great. I wear glasses now and have chronic dry eye. I got lucky.
