"I don't follow my doctor's contact lens care instructions."
It's extremely important that you follow your eye doctor's cleaning and care instructions. Unclean lenses won't be comfortable, and they can spawn other eye problems.

To avoid lens care altogether, an option is daily disposable contact lenses.
