Too late now but something anyone appraoching a sink to do anything with their lenses in is to put the plug in.
Another tip is to prevent a dropped lens getting chipped as it hits the hard sink surface is to put a flannel in the bottom of the sink or drape a towle ove the sink and make a small depression to catch the lens.
If you drop a lens, a fine cloth, stockings, gauze over the end of a vacuum cleaner will help pick up those hard to find lenses that get dropped on to the floor.
In the words of Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, always know wehre your towle is because it comes in very useful if you need to make use of public toilets to sort lenses out. You know it is clean to put your stuff on and as said above, stops lenses going down the plug hole and most public toilets don't have plugs because idiots put the plug in and leave all the taps on to flood the place!
