Beach trip where? Pls specify so i can dodge that place. And could this parasite not infect the eye without contact lenses aswell?

i think the implication is that the contacts kept the parasite in contact with the cornea giving them time to work into the cornea through small tears, which often occur with people who wear contacts.
