Options for dealing with eye contacts?

[MonocularVision]

Our youngest (~10) daughter has started wearing contacts for treating myopia. She is supposed to wear them a minimum of 10 hours and max of 14. We will probably be coming back to the hotel on most days but I could see us having the need to have her remove her contacts in the park. She’s pretty good at it but doing it in a bathroom might be a tough sell. Any ideas of where she might be able to perform such a feat? She will need a mirror.

I would check with first aid, they are very helpful and nice!

What about one of the baby/child centers? I'm sure if you explained to the CMs they would allow it. Great facilities!

Go to First Aid, I'm sure they'll give you a clean space for her to take out her contacts. Taking out contacts in a public bathroom has always given me the 'ickies' since they're an 'unknown' when it comes to being sanitary.

I wear contacts for extreme myopia but I've been wearing them long enough that I don't need to take them out during the day. I always keep a spare pair, a case, my glasses, and a mini bottle of solution in a locker with my jacket and whatever else I don't want to tote around. I carry a case and some wetting drops in my (small crossbody) purse in case of an emergency.

If they’re disposable contacts, it would be easy enough to remove them in the restroom. Just wash hands, pinch out the lenses and toss them. If she needs to put them in a case, First Aid might be a better option.

First aid and baby care centers for sure. Also? Sometimes emergencies do happen, so I take the go off to the side out of the way approach if I have to take them out. For example I’ve had one fall out as I walked out of an audition. I immediately went towards the bench by the front desk, popped the other one out, went back to holding, got my backup pair of glasses on and continued on my merry way.
Always have her glasses in her and at least two pairs of extra contacts and the solutions and holders/trays.
