A member asked:
I dropped my contact in the urinal, if i use it am i going to go blind?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: I am guessing you in fact did this already. The urinal would have to contain a toxin or infection that could be damaging to vision in very dilute form. That is extraordinarily unlikely. Your eye has excellent means to ward off toxins and infection and so you have almost certainly done no harm.
