There exists no known why contact lenses may not be worn while tanning indoors. When the eyes are kept closed and proper protective eyewear worn, UV light is blocked from penetrating the eye or lens.

Just as one should moisturize the skin after tanning, contact lens wearers may also use the eye drops recommended by his/her optometrist.
