What will happen if I put my contacts in a regular case with clear care solution?

It says on the bottle to not do that, but I can't find either of the special cases I have that it came with. I've been looking all over my house for an hour and I've come to the conclusion they vanished into thin air. But I have a bunch of regular flat cases.What will happen if I put my contacts in a regular case with clear care solution?
The special case that comes with it is for a reason. It has a disc in it that neutralizes the peroxide so it won't burn your eyes out after.





A regular case doesn't have that , so when you try using the lenses again, you will burn your eyes quite badly.





EDIT***





For jeanratchford below....the question specifies Clear Care solution, that is a peroxide system.What will happen if I put my contacts in a regular case with clear care solution?
You did not indicate what type of cleaning method you are using...IF you were referring to clear saline solution to soak your lenses in, that will NOT burn your eyes...I believe the other answer was referring to the method that uses peroxide in cleaning and disinfecting. Never use tap water or spring/distilled water. That will destroy your lenses, unless they're gas permeable.





In short, if you have some clear saline solution and a flat case, it should not cause harm to your lenses...however, if you are using the peroxide method, without the disc, it would not be advisable to use the solution that comes with the kit ! Hope that clears up your situation!! Good luck !
