You tend to be dry on the eyes in a dehydrating situation in planes. Your contacts will dry quickly. Use hydrating eye drops frequently. Try this. Punctal plugs may help too
If the vision is blurred when wearing CTX then there are many possible reasons. If the vision is good in the day and worse toward the evening, it may be some ocular dryness. If you are in a dry environment during the day, then a trial of preservative free lubricant drops 3-4 times daily for a week or two as trial may well be helpful. Ocular allergy can also be limiting. However, the power of the contacts, the fit of the contacts, the wear schedule (too long a wear period can cause blurring and irritation) and type of wetting and cleaning solutions (if used) can all influence vision. If its an issue it is best to see your CTX provider for an examination. Hope this helps.
They may not be fitting correctly or they could be the wrong prescription. You need to go back to the eye doctor who prescribed the contacts to get it figured out.
An eye exam with your optometrist may be the place to start to make sure your prescription is still correct. Keeping your contacts in longer than their recommended use time can also lead to protein deposits on the contacts, which would blur your vision
