Vaping mess with contacts?

[Bass4dayz]

I've searched alittle but can't find my same situation. Can vaping in a confined space have the same effect on contacts as like a car window. Where it leaves a film on them?

Seems unlikely. They'd get washed/wiped same as your eyes would. And you get probably more VG in your eyes when you wash your hair (shampoo, soap - usually made with VG) then from blowing some clouds...

just a guess tho...

Never had a problem. but I follow the recommended directions and clean my contacts every night before going to bed. the only reason I can see getting vg film is if your constantly hot boxing in your car or a small space with no ventilation. but a good rinse in contact solution should clear it right up.

I use dailies so may answer is a little biased. I had MANY more issues with my contacts (mostly related to corneal inflamation - which I now can attribute to the all the smoke in the eyes I was subject to with analog cigarettes) with my contacts when I smoked than I have since vaping. 6 years 10 months vaping and using contacts with zero issues now. My optometrist has always been supportive of my vaping and has commented that he sees the difference in the health of my eyes. YMMV
I don't really know how "confined" of a space you're speaking about though. Most of my vaping done is in the house (room to room - generally no closed doors except when vooping). I guess between the bathroom (which the wife, ALWAYS, says I leave like a fogged-out rock concert) and the car (which visibility limits the cloudiness of) none of my vaping is done in what I would consider a "confined space" so sorry if that doesn't help.
You're best bet though is to speak with your optometrist to be safe.

My glasses can get a little funky/foggy after time as does he interior of my car windshield.

Doubt contacts would unless you are vaping in a small space, don't clean them often, blow huge clouds, etc.

Haven't had an issue with mine, but I clean them nightly, and the room I usually vape in is about 15'x15'

PG/VG doesn't cause any lasting "film" at all, it disappears completely. PG and VG are alkohols.

Thank you for all the responses. I'm in a small room probably 12x10. I clean my every day. Maybe it's time for a trip to the eye doctor

I smoke huge clouds a lot and it never bothers me. I use 2 week disposables, though.

I was driving on a cold rainy day recently with the heat/defroster on and blowing my clouds out the window. From the defroster and the side window defroster I had a white film on my window the next day. Yes vaping does leave a slight residue on glass. I am very .... about how clean my windows are in my vehicle so I notice it immediately. And out comes the Amor All Glass cleaner! Followed by the microfiber cloth.............
