Having already done a Lazarus on one of my dehydrated contact lenses, I thought it timely to show the world what happens when you put a contact lens into hydrogen peroxide solution:

Wow!

Yes, this is a revolution in contact lens technology for those wearers who suffer from “dry or sensitive” eyes: you soak your lenses in an acid bath for 6 hours and all’s well with the world. Or at least you think it is, since you have to rely on commentary from your friends since you can no longer see after burning off your fucking corneas! I’m sorry, but I don’t have much confidence in the product that advertises itself as being for “sensitive eyes” when it does this to the lenses as soon as they break the miniscus.

Apparently, the “six hour” soak is vital – my eyes were comfortable wearing the lenses after a good overnight soak – but a second less than the magic 21600 and you’re blind!

And people say laser eye surgery looks dangerous.
