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.

recently i have started to get two different types of contacts.
i have the pair i wear for all around use. i have some horrible eyesight and quite astigmatic to boot. so these are monthly contacts and will end up getting gummed up early if i swim in them too often.
to avoid that i also got a box of daily disposable contacts. non-astigmatic to make them quite a bit cheaper. they arent the most useful things for wearing around all day, but theyll work in a pinch. i can read the workouts and clocks well enough to get by just fine.
that whole business was suggested by my eye doctor when i told her that i swam and it seems to work nicely. the only downfall is that it might be slightly more expensive than what some would like to spend.
