Not recommended, I think! Your lenses ought to be clean when they go into your eye; Gareth will tell you all about the microbes etc that multiply in warm water.

I think the idea is that you clean the lens and then rinse it with saline.

Sorry!

Cold sterile saline, straight from the fridge; now you are talking!
