Contacts: Who's wearing them under their goggles and who isn't?
At my last eye exam, my dr. sternly lectured me about the evils of swimming with contacts. When your goggles leak, which seems inevitable, the chlorine seeps in the lens, contaminates it and can thereby irritate your cornea.
I wore contacts my whole youth without incident, but now I notice some dry eye and redness. The problem is I don't like most prescription goggles.
What does everyone think? Anyone whacked out an eye?

I have never tried wearing my contacts. I think it's because my eyes are sooo bad that when I wear my goggles there is such an improvement I'm a happy camper.
