Now this is Cancer waiting to happen.
Acuvue Contacts do block UV light, but they can only block it from entering through the cornea. UV light can actually travel through the Conjunctiva (white part) and cause damage that way.
Get her some goggles. Better yet, tell her to get out of the tanning bed all together.
You should also still wear sunglasses over these.
