Yes, you can cry while wearing contact lenses — and no, your lenses will not fall out or get ruined. Tears are mostly water and salt, which is exactly the environment your lenses already sit in all day.

Here is what happens and how to keep your eyes comfortable through the tears.
In this guide:
- Why crying is usually a non-event for contacts
- What actually happens to lenses during a big cry
- How to handle colored contacts before, during, and after tears
