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 swimming for 20 years now and I wear contacts for 20 years. I never got the advice not to wear them during swimming. Having said that, I never mentioned my swimming. I never had a problem as long as water doesn't get into my goggles(I never lost a contact ever nor did I get red eyes).
Without my contacts I'm blind as a bat. I never wear my glasses anywhere in public because I'm farsighted which makes your eyes look huge with glasses(like a super nerd).
What I think is great are these new bungee straps for my swedes. It makes adjusting a lot easier.
I just remembered that I did used to get red eyes from my contacts but I assumed it was because of the contact lenses and not from swimming. I used to use Focus monthly contact lenses. After that i switched to Cibavison Night&Day lenses and never had a problem again.
