I've worn glass since 3rd grade, can't see any more than maybe 6 inches.
Goggles helped but only in the water and just enough to see the lane lines and walls. I wear contacts, but never when I swam, until now. I bought those 30 day disposable contacts, on purpose just to wear to the pool, I wear regular daily wear otherwise.
It was wonderful!!!! I can see everything!!!!! :groovy:
The pace clock, people, lanes, even things I don't want to see like people adjusting swimsuits under water. LOL Now, I realized I have to relearn timing out my turns, but that is minor.
I had to laugh, because when I wore them for the first time, I almost was dizzy from just the water movement. I knew the water always moved, but never actually could see it moving from in the pool only from the deck. It was really funny.
I LOVE THEM and if I have a goggle malfunction from a bad start and loose one, no big, I
still have back ups. Can't wait for my meet in April it would be the first time ever not to have to remove my glasses and keep them safe while I swim. :banana:

Have you considered Lasik Surgery as well?....
I dreeeaaam of this - not having to bother with those lenses - of being able to see from wake up to nighty-night ... ahhhh that must be nice.
People who have done Lasik say great things about it - how easy, painless, and especially quick it was.
And yes, I spend several minutes every time I am in the pool fooling with goggles that let in a few drops and immediately a lens floats away ... grrr.
