Question:
Can I wear contact lenses during an outdoor barbecue? Will the contact lens become damaged or distorted by the heat and harm my eyes while I'm grilling food by the fire?
Answer:
You can wear contact lenses while working over a flame. It is easy to get ash trapped under the lens leading to a foreign body sensation and eye irritation. More importantly than the lens, is to protect your eyes from the smoke, heat and ash. Wearing protective goggles is ideal.
