FULL lense theatrical lenses...I have a PROBLEM!?

Question

I am in the middle of making my own-ONE man film.
I have a pair of $300.00 custom made contact lenses.
They are SOFT, non perscription and like I said, they are full eye.
I put a small RIP in one yesterday. Has anyone had experience with a ripped lense and if they HAD to, did they steam on ahead before HAVING to buy another set? Any knowlege about these odd eye costumes would be injested and appreciated by me LODES!
Thank you Sid Grimm

I had a pair of 'novelty' contact lenses before that were full eye. When they rip, it can be quite agitating as it constantly feels like you have something in your eye. Some people can ignore it and continue on by just rubbing their eye occasionally - however I wouldnt' suggest it as it can still cause scratches to your eye (even though they are soft).

If you can get past the agitation then just push through it. However, you do run the chance of an infection or something getting under the contact and scratching your eye up.
