Medical Forum / General / Vision / September 2006Spray paint on contacts
I will subject myself to the ridicule of the group and ask my question... I did some spray painting today with my RGP lenses in. I dind't notice anything until I took the lenses out about 5 hours later. They are covered with little spots of paint. I didn't think this was possible since they were wet with tears, but obviously I was mistaken. I rubbed them with the cleaner for a while and the spots aren't coming off easily. My questions are: Is there any hope of removing the spots? and, are they safe to wear if the spots don't come off? I'm hitting them with the enzyme stuff tonight, just in case that will have some effect. -- Taoism: sh.t happens. > I will subject myself to the ridicule of the group and ask my > question...

By Lacquer and Enamel are solvent based and certainly can dry/adhere in the presence of water. -- Robert > I will subject myself to the ridicule of the group and ask my > question...

If vigorous digital cleaning with a mildly abrasive cleaner like Boston, you can send them in to be polished. That will remove the spots, for sure. w.stacy, o.d. > If vigorous digital cleaning with a mildly abrasive cleaner like Boston doesnt work, > you can send them in to be polished.
