The first thing it would do is dessicate the contact lenses - they need to be kept in saline (salt water) solution to maintain their shape and structure. Second, the alcohol would burn quite badly, and when placed and held in place on the surface of the cornea could cause some pretty nasty chemical burns. This would have the potential to render someone partially or totally blind, and depending upon the severity of the burns the blindness could be permanent.

While this may sound like a good prank, it's not - there are some severe potential medical consequences of this.
