I would not dream of going ANYWHERE without taking my glasses with me. For the last 30 years I have worn contact lenses (but not the same pair!) as my primary means of vision correction.įirst off, I agree with gracie-boo that anyone who requires contact lenses all the time needs a pair of eyeglasses for backup. It's so bad that I can't even get out of bed in the morning without putting on glasses or contacts. I am extremely near-sighted (-8.5 diopters in each eye) so must use some type of vision correction at all times. I wear the overnight ortho-K lenses, thus I do not own a pair of prescription glasses, nor do I have any need for them. I am planning to travel to an Asian destination, where there is almost no guarantee that I will be able to find the product for sale. However, I now use exclusively Clear Care, and if that does not make it through TSA, I will be left with nothing upon arrival if my checked baggage gets delayed. I have always known that it is best to have enough of your contact lens care material in your carry on baggage in case your checked baggage gets delayed. I am wondering what people's experiences are with this? The reasoning is that hydrogen peroxide can potentially be used as an explosive. I have been hearing stories of TSA officers confiscating such solution in carry on baggage and not being able to negotiate citing medical necessity as a reason, even when the bottle is in compliance with the 3-1-1 limitation. In a few months, this will be my first time traveling with it. I have recently switched to Clear Care, a hydrogen peroxide based contact lens solution, due to my eye care professional's recommendation.
