Re: wetting agents

Check into the wetting or cleaning agents for contact lenses.  Being 
that they are plastic, they need some sort of chemical on them to 
keep them wet and lubricated.  About 40 years ago, when I first 
tried contacts, I remember the eye doctor explaining this to me - so 
if I am a bit confused, I blame it on a foggy memory ;-)
