Q: Can contact lenses melt on your eye?
A: No, contact lenses don’t do that. Some contact lenses actually protect against UV light. Contacts don’t really liquify in heat like other plastics do, and they’re not really biodegradable or dissolvable. Exposure to heat (like from an oven or furnace) can make the contact lenses and eyes feel much drier, and this would require plenty of lubrication to feel better.
