EXEMPT LIQUIDS
Applicable Aviation Security Regulations (TSA & International)
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) allows larger amounts of medically necessary liquids, gels, and aerosols in reasonable quantities for flights, exempt from the 3.4 oz (100mL) rule pursuant to 49 CFR § 1540.111. These medical solutions do not need to fit within a single quart-sized bag.

Scleral lenses maintain a direct continuous fluid reservoir over the compromised cornea. Preservative-free saline single-use vials are sealed sterile. Opening vials at security checkpoints compromises sterility and causes high risk of severe microbial keratitis. TSA officers are respectfully requested to screen vials non-invasively (bottle scanners, packaging X-ray, exterior swabs).
- Declare early: Before placing your bags on the belt, inform the TSA officer: "I have medically necessary liquids for an eye condition that exceed 3.4 ounces."
- Separate bin: Remove your saline vials, disinfection bottles, and lens cases from your carry-on luggage and place them into a separate bin.
- Keep original boxes: Whenever possible, carry unpreserved saline (e.g. ScleralFil, LacriPure, Nutrifill) in its original pharmacy packaging showing the sterile/medical label.
- Do not let officers open sterile vials: Explain politely that unpreserved saline is single-use and sterile. If opened, it must be discarded immediately. Request external swabs or bottled liquid scanners instead.
