Someone told me a while ago that if you have a "must wear corrective
lenses" restriction on your medical and wear contacts, that you have to
carry a pair of regular glasses while flying. Is that true? And if so,
does anyone have a reference?

My most recent medical certificate explicitly requires spare corrective
lenses; the previous certificates didn't. I don't know why it changed, but
I'd always considered that to be an important safety precaution anyway, so I
didn't mind the new wording.
