Just wondering what other people do when they wakeboard and you wear glasses. I have been using contacts, but have lost a few of them when I fell. Anybody have suggestions on how they do it?
|
I wear contacts and have only lost one contact in 4-5 years. I've taken some good faceplants with my eyes wide open too.
|
<font color="0077aa">George, how is it that you are losing your contacts? I'll second Jeremy and vow for only losing one in two years...knock on wood</font>
|
i started wearing my contacts after reading on this board about people doing it. best thing ever. i thought they'd come out on my first crash but i've maybe only lost one since i started. i don't care much as i use 2-week disposables anyways, but i've been amazed at some of the falls i've taken and not lost them.
|
i wear contacts... I dont even remember last time lossing on while wakeboarding... I'm pretty good at closing my eyes when falling...
|
I wore mine to see what would happen, and after a few extremely bad face plants they were still in, and I've still never lost a pair, even after being partially blinded for an hour with water behind my eye. <BR>All I can say is, close your eyes whenever you're underwater.
|
GOt some of the daily wear just incase I lost them. Not a perfect correction but way better then none.
|
i have lost more contacts on the bathroom <BR>floor than out riding. now i just jinxed it for <BR>tomorrows ride, dang it !
|
i haven't lost one in 3 years but i did try riding with only 1 of 'em in....not fun! couldn't see the top of the wake heelside, no left contact.
|
I wear contacts and haven't lost one yet, even though some of my falls are pretty hard. What I do is I always save a couple of my old contacts just in case, but I never have had to use them yet. I don't know about other eye doc's but mine just gives me new pairs if one rips or something, I just don't like the hastle of driving out there so I keep extras.
|
Same thing here with me. I haven't lost any yet even after one of those dreaded eyeball peelers. *knock on wood* <BR>
|
ive been wearing contacts for the past two years. and in those two years i have only lost one contact and i wasnt even boarding i was swimming with my eyes open
|
I've lost at least 7 contacts while boarding/skiing, now I just usually go blind, but when I do wear em I got some of the daily wear so it doesnt matter.
