contact lenses and extreme cold

ben bedlam · 2009-02-03 11:00:54

Hi, I was mountain climbing last weekend. It was extremely cold at the summit, nearly minus 11 id say. When i was there, i noticed my eyes got fogged up. My question is, does anyone know anything about wearing contact lenses in the cold?

I've been in those type of temperatures and not had problems. Could it be, that there was wind causing tears and this is where the blurry-ness came from? I do get that sometimes.

I was actually thinking of the opposite problem myself this morning. I'm off to the desert in March and temperatures are likely to be in the 40's with the possibilities of sandstorms. Sanitation will be quite limited so I was trying to figure out what to do about my lenses.
