Alternatively, from the site:

http://www.bausch.com/ecp/our-products/contact-lens-care/gas...

It does say to rinse them with tap water, but also to rinse & soak with solution afterwards...presumably negating the dangers of the tap water.

Why did you chose to ignore the point 4 of the instructions after reciting the first thee points? The point that completely removes all residue from the tap water.

What country? In the UK the advice for Boston is to use tap water only if it's been boiled and cooled.

Here in India, Bausch+LOMB's ReNu lens solution is popular.

Referring : https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91eS0p3YC3L...

It mentions only to use the solution, no tap water.

That appears not to be the case.

Yep, the way I read that is to rinse the lenses in water after cleaning them.

Horrid.

Glad I ditched using my own lenses now in favour of glasses. I still have a good supply of them .. just never liked the poking around in the eye business.
