  Hello, you'd better not wear your contact lenses in a steam room. As we all know, the steam room is not very clean. And the air in the room is quite wet and dirty. It will be very harmful for your eyes if the air float into your eyes. And when the air float into your eyes, it will get stuck to your lenses. The fog up of your lenses will keep your eyes blinking. What's more, the heat will distort your lenses. In a word, wearing contact lenses will do harm to both your lenses and eyes. You'd better avoid wearing them.

  No, it is not ok for you to wear the contact lenses in a steam room. As we know, the temperature in the steam room is high which will make the eyes feel dry, especially when you wear the contact lenses. At this time, the invisible bacterium will be in most active movement which will come into your eyes. Your eyes may easily get infection. Thus, you'd better not do this.
