I still use the monthlies, but I use a gentle liquid hand soap (both no tears and no antiseptic type) and wash my contact lens bottle and lens case each time.

I used hard lenses before the soft ones came out for probably 20 years. I got pink eye a number of times (before contacts and after), but that’s about the most problem I got from those lenses. I could never get used to the soft ones, either, so after hard contacts just wore my glasses until I had lasik performed.

I guess I’ll have a cane, a monkey, and a tin can soon. I have worn them for about 30 years.

Study brought to you by the companies that provide more expensive daily wear contacts… only half kidding.

—a condition that results in inflammation of the cornea (the eye's clear protective outer layer).This is from a medical institution?
The conjunctiva is the clear membrane that covers most of the eye, the cornea covers the area of the iris and pupil.

I wear my monthly contact lenses in the shower because I see better. However, I could easily stop.
For the last two months or so, my eyes have been mattering up like crazy. Sometimes I have to stop and blink several times in order to see clearly. It could be allergies, though I have not had this problem in prior years. I’ve made a point of soaping up my lens case every day.
Now days, I too have to wonder if the study is funded by the producers of disposable lenses. Whether it’s global warming, the Wuhan virus, or anything else, someone will produce the result that pays. I won’t say that all researchers/scientists are prostitutes, but some can certainly be found.

I’ve worn contact lenses (hard and soft) for fifty years. I’ve had a few minor infections, but always inconsequential. I’m currently using the monthly type. Best recommendation I can offer is to change them promptly or prior to the specified duration period. When I did have a problem it was usually my violation of that rule.

I shower with my monthlies sometimes. I'm careful because some of the oils in soaps and shampoos can get into the plastic matrix and cloud them up a bit.
I'm careful to soak my lenses overnight in a peroxide solution. And, I'm careful to wash my paws in Ivory soap before sticking my lenses into my eyes.
I've used the same pair of lenses for a few months, on occasion. Typically, one month max.
Issues in roughly 2 decades? None.
