disposable contacts

I cant find the answer to this question on the TSA website. can i carry a strip (5 or 10) of individually packaged contact lenses in my carry on? they are the one thing i cant replace on a trip with lost luggage.

Here you are on the Europe forum, too! you can carry whatever fits in your quart ziploc. I think that because of the small amount of liquid in them, if you try to carry them outside of the ziploc, you will run the risk of having them confiscated.

Yes - they are prescription and therefore the liquid limits don't count. Just put them in your bag and your fine. They probably won't even ask and if they do, they are obviously prescription.
