So, I never dried my hands before handling my lenses - I'd wash them thoroughly, rinse them with tap water, then rinse my fingertips again with a little saline or lens cleaning solution. My intuition was that my hand towel was likely to be laden with bacteria - is this wrong?


I have a similar usage pattern, and in the wake of this article I've been pondering how to safely dry my hands before handling contacts. Perhaps paper towels?


From what my optician recommended was to indeed blod them dry with a clean towel each time. But, I am not taking care of them that well, I rub them dry. I am not sure if blodding makes a difference.
