Do any of you wear glasses or contacts? I dont mean just for reading but I mean all the time? Has it affected your swimming in any way? What do you do about not being able to see?

"Contacts are actually porous and will absorb water when exposed. It's possible to get dirty water into the contact which will then iritate or even infect the eye. If your goggles leak while wearing your contacts I highly suggest replacing them immediately."
If you say contacts are porous and will absorb water when exposed, then why do any of you wear contacts if this "may" possibly happen? Especially with chlorine. I wear contacts and glasses and can see fine without them but I would NEVER NEVER (just my opinion) wear my contacts while swimming, even with goggles. You can never be sure that water will leak in and then you have a problem. Isn't there another way, like the corrective goggles? Just my opinion.
