Will flying affect my eyesight?

The air pressure, temperature and oxygen levels of a plane are carefully regulated to ensure no sudden changes occur. However even slight changes in air pressure experienced during a flight might not be good for your eyes.

The re-circulated air inside the cabin can also be very drying. Because of this it may be a good idea to avoid wearing your contact lenses and include some eye drops in your carry-on luggage.
