Is it safe to wear contact lens in a desert area like Egypt?

Question

this is my first time traveling to a desert country with my contact lens on.

Just curious of my eye condition with the strong wind with sand flying around might irritate or damage my contacts. is it safe to wear?

Answer 1

i think it might be best if you didn't wear them becuase if sand went in your eye with contancs in there will be pain and irritation.

why not wear glasses for a bit?

have a great holiday x

Answer 2

I would presume that many people in Egypt wear contact lenses.

Just wear good wrap-around sunglasses over your contacts if you are outside on windy days.

Answer 3

no because it would be irritating and theres a chance u could go blind
