A member asked:
I'm just wondering, if you get rushed to the hospital and ur unconscious while wearing contacts, what do they do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Remove them and save: If they know you have contacts, they will generally remove them and save them for you. Sometimes it will not be obvious you are wearing them, and if family or friends are present, they should say so.
