My father sometimes wears contacts whilst sailing, but he only uses disposable ones anyway so it dosn't matter if he loses them. He sails a laser, so gets wet quite reguarly! but he dosn't seem too bothered so they can't come out too easy. I've just got glasses and amazed at what I can now see, so I might well try out contacts for sailing...

Never mind... give this thread another 2 days and we'll have 22 pages of various chatterings, only loosely connected with vision!!!

See reply on the other thread started in Dinghy Development on the same topic. Then again, I could answer something completely different here, just to confuse matters!!!

What do dinghy sailers who wear contact lenses do? I figure it's not possible to wear them cos you'll lose them as soon as you capsize? I've had a pair of prescription sunglasses made up, but I'd obviously prefer not to have the worry of losing them (very expensive!). If I do lose them, I can't see past my nose!

Wondering if any other dinghy racers have had this problem and if anyone has any solutions? Many thanks xx
