Eyewear, ever lost a pair?

I use the Gill sunnies with the strap build in and they have so far stayed on in my musto.  They have been well tested with acrobatic capsizes, Eskimo rolls and the like

I wore contacts for years before my eyes got p!$$ed off with them.
Tried sailing in glasses and just couldn't get on with it.
So I got lasered, no more glasses.

Funny thing is wearing sunglasses doesn't bother me but I found sailing in prescription glasses intolerable,,, reason??????

The other funny thing is now I'm that age and not Myopic anymore I am starting to struggle with small writing, like on the Newton Crum flag sticker in the cockpit at the Laser Masters!

One thing we myopics do is take them off to read stuff (or as I do bung them on the top of my head at the computer or reading)

I suppose it depends what you'd rather do: Wear glasses for reading or wear glasses for sailing. I know what I'd rather do and that's wear the horrible things for the least amount of time. If you had 20/20 vision as a younger man you would probably now need glasses for reading anyway.
