Contact lenses in planes?

accreditation

Wearing contact lenses while traveling by plane can be uncomfortable. Why, and what can be done to lessen the discomfort?

The low humidity in aircraft cabins contributes to dry eye symptoms and contact lens discomfort. It may help to put lubrication drops in your eyes before you enter the airplane or during flight. If symptoms persist or become severe, it is probably easiest and best to wear eyeglasses when flying.
