Dailies Contact Lenses

I rinsed my contact lens case with water?

So I just got 1 month disposable contacts recently. I've been doing some research online saying I shouldn't rinse out my lens case with water because of bacteria and stuff. Also, when I put my contacts in the morning, I rinsed out my case with warm water and with solution and didn't let it air dry, I put the lid on top. I just now took my contacts out and rinsed my case with water and then put the solution in with my contacts. Are my contacts going to be ruined?

1. no your contacts aren't going to be ruined from just this once. but in the future, wash them out regularly yes, but then dry them out with a towel, and then i squirt some solution in the case and give it a little shake to rinse it then toss it out. then i fill the case with fresh solution again and put my contacts up for the night. sometimes if the case doesn't need a big clean in the sink, i'll hold the case sideways and squirt in a circular motion for a second to rinse it out. it's something about the minerals in the water that mess up contact lenses, but just that once won't hurt, although try not to make it a regular thing. :)
2. ehh... i do it all the time sometimes i dont use them for months at a time, and theyre still good dont worry about it
