Ok so clarification on this that I’ve been meaning to post. I don’t have glasses atm. I went to the protest with contacts in and got tear gassed not once but twice. My exposure was not heavy (I didn’t stand in it, I ran and immediately flushed my eyes but KEPT MY CONTACTS IN) 1/2 https://twitter.com/iDripMumboSauce/status/1267633778878545920 …

It hurt a lot and I wanted to rip them out but I am almost legally blind and I was on an unfamiliar street with police advancing on our group. I kept them in, stayed calm, and just repeatedly and gently flushed my eyes. So long as you are not maced directly into your face or 2/3

Or standing in the cloud of tear gas, your contacts could be okay. I acknowledge my experience was lucky and even though I was very close to the gas I had the opportunity to run where others may not. I don’t recommend wearing them, but if you have to, make sure you’re safe.
