goggles for those of us who wear contact lenses

I've worn swedes since I was 8 and had hard contacts for about 10 of those years with no issues.

thanks for the suggestion.  i have some swedes but they didn't work for me, they seemed to small for my eyes/face.  i wear the daily contacts.  

Get a pair of optical goggles and then you don't have to worry about contacts or infections while you are in the water. Speedo Vanquisher Opticals and Sporti Opticals are virtually the same except for the price. If you have different prescriptions in each eye, buy two pairs and swap the eyes out. 

I have always worn goggles and contact lenses (always = about 40 years, 1/2 w/ rigid gas permeables and 1/2 with soft contacts). Goggle fit is really individual. I tried lots of different brands and styles at a sports/swim shop until I found the best fit. If you squish them onto your eye sockets (without the strap), they should stay there for over a second (ideally 2 secs) before one pops off. Getting goggles that have adjustable nosepieces is important, too.

The suggestion to get optical goggles is fine, but what do you do when you are out of the pool? Or take a break between sets with your goggles on your forehead?

And I've never had any issues with pool water (or lake/river) water getting into my eyes with my contacts in. It's briefly uncomfortable, but your eyes know how to rewet themselves. If the contacts seem dry after the swim, use saline or drops to rewet and refresh.

I hope you find a good goggle solution for your usage!

thanks for this suggestion - i've ordered some sporti opticals.  fingers crossed. 

yes...saline has been super helpful after a swim. i'm still on the search but will try the optical ones and just have my glasses with me  to drive home after a swim. :)
