A member asked:

Is it ok to ride roller coasters with me wearing gas permeable contacts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ok: As long your contact lenses don't come loose and detach during the ride, the g forces will be insufficient to cause bubble formation near your cornea or in the contact lens.
