disposable contacts- carry on?
 

Can i carry disposable contacts (individually packaged) in my carry on luggage? is there a limit to the number that i can carry? also, if i have my pills in a pill case and not the bottle, do I run a risk that they will be confiscated? i am travelling from NH to florida. thanks

I can't answer your question, but I can tell you that, since September, I FedEx inportant items to my destination, due to TSA rules. For example, I always now FedEx disinfecting solution and salene for my lenses - the products I use are not available in foreign countries, and are often not to be found in other US cities!

I carry disposable lenses in case my luggage is (gulp) late. I am assuming the 'liquid' around your lenses is far less than the 3 oz limit.

The TSA link is below for you, it tells you everything you can and can not bring and how to bring it.

I pack whatever size bottle of contact cleanser in my luggage and bring a small, 3 oz size in my carry on.

I have been putting extra contact lenses in my quart ziplock liquids bag in the carry-on. Finally, my brand of contact solution (B&L Muti-Purpose) is available in a 2 oz. size. I was wondering when they'd make a carry-on size!

I have carried pills separately in my carry-on and never had a problem. I also carry epi-Pens and had no problems there, either.

sorry, saw that you wanted to carry your pills in a case. I'm pretty sure I've taken pills not in the scrip bottle. For example, Benedryl tabs (which aren't scrip, but OTC). I think they're concerned with liquids, not pills, so liquid meds you'd have to have in the original bottle.

My daughters & I just traveled from DFW to LGA & back, sorry to say no one at DFW cared what we had in are bags as long as they were in are plastic bags. No better at LGA.

You can carry the small 4 ounce bottle of saline solution with you and it does not have to be part of your approved quart size baggie. So put your contacts and saline solution in a separate baggie and send it through on its own. you should be fine.

I just put my disposable contacts in my carry on without a problem.
