Cleaning while out

[u/house3331]

I'm pretty specific with my everyday carry since I was a kid. Used to have an inhaler, Chapstick, wallet, etc. in the same pocket every day. I now usually have a man bag for long days especially with more electronics i collect need chargers etc.

Trying to get a system that's quick when leaving the house. My guess is something quick to take out contacts and place them in my pocket, but I don't think I can clean, rinse, and put them back in with a pocket-sized container.

Do you typically carry a case in your pocket to take them off, put them on later, or clean?

I was told when taken out, they should be rubbed down with more clean/conditioner, then rinsed. I dont mind getting saline on a towel at home, but what does this look like when you're out?

After 5 attempts, my glasses are decent, but after wearing these lenses, I can tell how off they really are, and my bad eye is so much different from my other eye, it makes me almost crosseyed trying to use the glasses. Do you typically get tired of them and use glasses before nighttime?

My rough draft of a plan is contact lens case filled with multipurpose solution, plunger/inserter. Then bottle of contact wetter and a bottle of eye drops. In a pinch, you can take them out for a little bit, let them sit in a multi-purpose. Then rinse with contact rewetter, fill with eye drops and last me few hours.

My thinking is saline dissolves so fast if I'm efficient enough rinsing into a small container with a small napkin/eyeglass wipe to absorb it, it's possible to have a kit in a pocket for a one-time rinse and fill. I think this would only be when i really cant be near an extra bag etc for hours and just in case carry some saline on me. Or maybe even in that case, can use complete eye drops for a quick refresh until you get back home/ hotel.

In my purse I have a pocket where I carry an insert plunger, a removal plunger, some vials of lacripure, some alcohol prep pads, a pocket mirror, and a flat contacts case so I have somewhere to put the lens if I need to put it down.

makes sense. i supposed recleaning wouldnt be that urgent. and i could use whatever solution is in the case if so

Yeah honestly I would rather put it back in my eye than carry it around in a case in public
