Consequence of shifting carry-on luggage to checked luggage for aircraft weight

For me, I have disposable contacts. Taking them out pretty much means
throwing them away as they don't store well (I have the extended wear
lenses that I leave in for a week).

OK, that's fair. Its an inconvenience, and a money choice, but I gather you
*could* switch to glasses for the flight if necessary. In ref to Emily's
comment re prescriptions---- couldn't you have your doctor write a scrip for
eye drops or lens solution? And, would that get the solutions through
security?

And my vision is better with the contacts than with the stupid small lenses
in my glasses.

That's your choice. Get larger lenses. I wear simple glasses, basically
readers, but I also hate the small lenses currently in fashion, so I select
slightly larger frames.
