Keep these in your main luggage and use smaller travel bottles of lens cleaning solution that can be carried onto the flight in your hand luggage. For shorter trips, travel pack solutions may avoid the need for bulky bottles altogether.

Plane cabins are notorious for causing drying of the eyes. This can lead to discomfort, making longer journeys tortuous for lens wearers. Solve this problem by carrying with you a bottle of eye drops. Alternatively, use rewetting products to maintain your lenses. Another option is to ditch your lenses for the flight and switch to glasses. So there are some easy ways to avoid dry eyes.

One really good piece of advice is to pack spare contact lenses or glasses. Lenses can tear and break anywhere, so don't be left without a solution to your vision problems.
