Most places will recommend removing contact lenses before you tan, but that is only because tanning beds can make your eyes very dry, so contacts become uncomfortable. Good places will also provide you with protective glasses that make it basically impossible for UV light to get to your eyes, or your contacts. But no, they wont melt.
