Can I Bring Contact Lenses on a Plane to United States?

Contact Lenses
Allowed
According to TSA guidelines, tSA allows larger amounts of medically necessary liquids, gels, and aerosols in reasonable quantities for your trip, but you must declare them to security officers at the checkpoint for inspection. Any oversized medically-necessary liquids that alarm during screening, testing positive for certain chemicals, may not be allowed through the screening checkpoint. Some contact lens solutions contain chemicals that typically alarm and may not be permitted through the checkpoint. We recommend placing contact lens solutions over 3.4 ounces in your checked baggage. Learn more about transporting medication on your next flight.
The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint. Official TSA Rules →
