Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If a lens is dropped, do the following: 
(1) moisten a finger with the lens solution, and then gently touch the lens with the moistened finger to pick it up. 
(2) Clean, rinse, and disinfect the lens to avoid a potential eye infection from any microorganisms that might have adhered to the lens. The contact lens does not need to be discarded and tap water should not be used for contact lens.
