Is it necessary to clean new daily disposable contact lens before wearing?
medicine23
I use Total Dailies 1 - daily disposable contact lens.
My OD said since the solution in the pack is sterilized, no need to wash before wearing.
Is it safe to wear without cleaning? any long term effects?

My question is in general, is it necessary to clean daily disposables after opening from the seal or not?
I can ask for specifically about my brand with my OD.
Just wanted a 2nd opinion.
