Several studies show that rubbing and rinsing a contact lens prior to storage removes large numbers of microorganisms on the contact lens surface. This makes it much easier for the contact lens solution to disinfect the contact lens by killing the remaining ‘bugs’. In light of these studies, and the recent problems with some multipurpose contact lens solutions, rubbing and rinsing your contact lenses prior to storage should be the rule.
