You should ask your optician/pharmacist about this, really. :s-smilie: It probably depends what kind of lenses you get, how long you spend in there, and so on. Anyway, if your eyes don't dry out already, I couldn't see much of a problem, unless your eyes dry out more with contact lenses than without them particularly.

I always took my glasses and some solution to work with me- the air conditionning sometimes made them dry. That way, you can take them out completely or give them a rinse to soften them up a bit. But yeh, ask your optician!

Mine were fine when I was in the fridges and freezers at Marks and Spencer, but then I wasn't in them for very long at any given time.
