Default Boxing with Contacts

Sometimes I take my contacts out to do bag work. I'm thinking about sparring without them too. Just curious what other boxers with bad eyes do.
I'm kind of concerned about it, because some of my guys wear contacts. I'm always worried about their eyes getting banged up or something by the contact when they get punched in the face.

But these same guys are so blind that they can't box with out them ?!?! So we have no real solution at our disposal.

Sometimes they even pop out while we're boxing and we have to stop, look for a contact, and rotate another guy into the fight while the guy with contacts washes his contact with solution.

I'm just worried about it hurting their eyes.
