Contact lenses are ideal for travelling. To ensure your journey goes as smoothly as possible make sure you read our handy travel tips for contact lenses.
• You are allowed to carry small amounts (usually up to 100 ml) of eye drops and other liquids with you onto a plane. Volumes greater than that may only be permitted in your checked baggage. Always check with your airline before you fly
• It’s a good idea to bring along two extra pairs of lenses in case you lose or damage your current pair
• Aircraft cabins are often very dry and may cause your lenses to feel less comfortable than usual. Carry a travel size bottle of rewetting drops just in case
• For maximum comfort, consider applying a fresh pair of lenses when you reach your destination
• Consider wearing ACUVUE® daily disposable lenses such as 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® while you travel. Not only will you have a fresh pair to wear every day, but you don’t have to carry around solutions and cases
• Rather than packing a full size bottle of lens solution, opt for a travel size
• When traveling by air, try to keep your lenses, case, and solution in your hand luggage to stop them getting lost in transit
• The pressurised environment in aircraft cabins can cause some bottles and lens cases to leak slightly. To avoid a puddle in your bag, place your lens case and solution in a zip-lock bag before packing
• If you travel long hours in the plane and have tendency to nap with your lenses than recommend that you consult with your eye care professional for the best suitable lens for you.
• Always call your eye care professional immediately if you experience any discomfort with your eyes
