Contact Lenses in the sea
Are you a short sighted spectacle wearer who enjoys surfing? Can you see what
you are doing? Can you see those waves on the horizon, or the other water users
before your fins turn the sea red? If not, contact lenses might be for you.
Normal contact lenses need sterilisation with fresh solutions that expire after
a month, and are expensive to replace if lost. There is a answer; single use
disposables.
Acuvue
lenses are individually packed an need no additional kit. Just take them out of
the pack and put them in your eyes. Keep them in the car and use them only if
you go in the sea. And if they come out when you are surfing (which is very
rare) you have not lost anything important or expensive.
Furthermore if you have tried contacts before and did not tolerate them because
your eyes were too dry; not a problem in the sea! And you only have to wear them
for an hour or 3 so tolerance is much less of a problem.
