Saline solution you can look right in the eye.
I noticed this morning that my roommate had picked up some cruelty-free, socially-responsible saline solutionfrom the co-op. It’s called “Clear Conscience.” I was pretty floored because — as a gay Cancerian Jew with a Catholic father — I can pretty much self-hate myself over anything, but it had never once even occurred to me to feel guilty about my saline solution. Should my conscience be besmirched by the contact lens solutions I’ve used for years? Absolutely! Apparently there are a number of saline solutions that are tested on animals; also there are varying approaches to sterilizing water used in saline solution, and most companies use radiation which is totally bad and could make your eyes … grow eyes, or something.
Clear Conscience is a “cruelty-free, thimerosal-free, chlorhexidine-free formula packaged in recyclable plastic bottles … sterilized by filtration without the use of radiation. 10% of all proceeds donated to non-profit animal welfare and environmental organizations.” Also Clear Conscience sells these outrageous endangered species lens cases, where you can totally keep your pot contacts. The panda bear one is so cute I love it! So there. Step One: Feel bad. Step Two: Buy Clear Conscience. Awesome.

This is why I wear glasses. If you tested glasses on animals you would just make them look kinda nerdy. Adorable!
