A rare moment of brilliance: emergency contact lens storage and solution
If you wear contact lens, your ‘oh fuck’ moment would be when:
1) you realise that you’d forgotten to pack your contact lens case and solution;
2) you did not bring along a spare pair of contact lens; and
3) you’re at a rather remote area and it was too late to go purchase anything in town.
I went ‘oh fuck’ last weekend when I was at the Tanjung Jara Resort for the Volkswagen media drive. Tian Chad told me that Kenny Sia was in a similar situation, put on his thinking cap and used 2 water bottle caps as his contact lens storage for the night.
So that was what I did.
Two water bottle caps, solution from my Renu contact lens eye drops and covered by a (clean) drinking glass. Don’t want weird stuff to fly in + solution to dry up from the air-condition.
I felt so brilliant and accomplished, like I’d discovered something new. Well, it is true that the older you get, the more you appreciate the simpler things in life.

wow this is brilliant!
i did the same thing last time but with a tea cup saucer and a piece of paper placed on top -_-
eiling: spread the word! Hehehe
aud: haha sounds like a high school science experiment!
now you just need the Bunsen burner!
How bad is it if I just sleep wearing them, and re-moisturize in the morning with eye drops?
…I do that pretttttty often.
i feel slightly grossed out by myself that when i used to improvise contact lens cases, i never once thought of covering it with anything…
Elaine: .. It’s quite bad lor.. cos your eyes need to breathe! And your contact lens need to be sterilised (using the solutions). Don’t do it too often kayyyyy!
quaintly: Heheh i didn’t think of that too! Until I thought of the air-conditioning and how it will ‘wap-kan’ the ‘air’.
That’s really brilliant! I had that moment once, but never thought abt water bottle caps, so stoopid. My friend lent me his casing after thoroughly cleaning them. He put both his lenses in a glass, err, he said both side also same degree, so L or R didn’t matter…sighh, bad thing to do, but then he also had a spare pair. Wish i would have been smarter & not so forgetful
lol smart!
Eh, where’s your post on this trip ah? Takkan pih sana tok leh pos gambar? Embargo ke?
SooPey: Thanks! But I’ve to say the original idea didn’t come from me, heh! I can’t do what your friend did as my L and R are different. Honestly I forgot to identify the L & R, next morning I had a panic moment but then realised that I’d instantly know the difference if I put it in wrongly!
Min: runs in the family *pats*
Suertes: No ar.. Kinda a lot to process aka I’m lazy atm
itulah sebabnya i use daily disposibles
Your ‘oh fuck’ moment became your MacGyver moment.
haha looks like this way is even better than KennySia’s one. Can cover with glass also
LT: Daily disposables are so extravagant!
TheGunner: comes with the show tune some more!
TianChad: Haha I don’t know what Kenny’s looks like, so I can’t comment. But thanks for the tip!
