Buy new: The risk of infection from improperly worn or cared-for contact lenses is too high to tempt fate. If you plan on sleeping out, take a small bottle of cleaning solution and a lens case with you, or buy them at a store. Otherwise, you should bring a pair of glasses with you. Your eyes are too important to take chances with them!

Sleeping in contacts: It is better to throw away a pair of contacts than to wear them sleeping or to use a non-sterile vehicle. People go blind from abusing their contact lenses. Don't be one of them.
