So the optician usually tell you not to wear them in the pool...well that ain't happening if I need to see a clock or the workout typed in anything less than REALLY BIG FONT.
So I a curious who out there wears contacts and if you rinse them after you swim to remove any chlorine or contaminants. I find that I get very sore and dry eyes by the end of the day even if using drops. sO just looking for input.
I've been wearing contacts to swim (with goggles) for as long as I can remember. Like you said, nearly all of my eye doctors have advised against this. Oddly when I had my eyes checked in Dec with a new doctor, she wasn't concerned at all.
I used to take a case, solution, glasses, extra lenses, etc with me in my swim bag. But I stopped doing that years ago. Occasionally I've lost a lens somewhere, driven home using one eye to guide me, but that happened only 3 or so times, the last was at least 3 years ago.
