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've been wearing the daily disposables. I only wear them while swimming (I don't think they make trifocal contacts). I will wear them for 3-4 workouts and rinse and store them in fresh solution between uses. My eyedoc recommended this after discussing several different alternatives. Ideally, lasik would be the best solution, but it's not for everyone and I would still need glasses to see up close.
