Contacts will not freeze in your eyes. I've live in Northern Minnesota, and have worn contact for 15 years; mine have yet to freeze! No worries, plus it is much better than having your glasses fog up!

the liquid you are using to put your contacts in is a saline solution, much like what is in the makeup of your eye which gets absorbed into your eyes after you put your contacts in. your eyes don't freeze when you go out in 20 degree weather and neither will your contacts freeze to your eye.

Your body temperature is still 98.6 degrees, so no - the solution in your eyes will not freeze.
Secondly, that solution is salinated (salty), so it has a much lower freezing point.
I wear contacts - other than wind drying out the moisture - it doesn't really matter how cold it gets.
I live in the tropics now - but spent three years in Indiana-NOPLACE, so I can say this with confidence.

I wore contacts for years without having them freeze and crack while in my eyes...the worse thing I did was loose one. Take care of them like the doctor says and you won't have any problems...
important advice...always wash your hands first before handling your contacts.
