There is bacteria and parasites in ocean water. The contact can act as a meduim for growth. Their are cases where people have gone blind from this scenario. Look up pseudomonis sometime. This parasite can eat and infest the cornea of the eye. Untreated, this can lead to blindness. If you wear your contacts in untreated water, throw them away afterwards and put a new clean pair in. It's not worth the risk.
