Certain chemicals can evaporate quickly and become airborne, and with gas-permeable lenses, the chemical can become concentrated directly on the eyeball, essentially trapped between the lens and the iris, and burn the surface of the eyes. As well, in the case of potential chemical spills and splashes, some chemicals can melt the polymer plastic used in the contact lens and fuse it to the eye.
