Other Riding in contact lenses?

[SXIPro]

Lasik is a fantastic procedure, but make sure you understand what your vision will do naturally over the course of a lifetime before you make that decision

1 day contacts are the best for riding period.....wear them once and toss them, at the very least do not EVER sleep in lenses after riding in them...There are tons of bacteria and parasitic organisms in your tap water let alone a natural body of water

Could you expand on this? I'm considering Lasik, and would truly appreciate your input, since you are in that field. Thanks! (I'm 48 and nearsighted, using Acuvue 2s at -4.50 right now...tried the Oasis a while back and must be allergic because they drove me crazy, so I switched back to the 2s)

I ride in contacts all summer (Ciba night & day, wear a month at a time, no removal or cleaning.) I can't stand riding without some sort of eye protection though, cheap gas station sun glasses, sealing motorcycle glasses, etc... I've got a pair of Bomber floating glasses now, so we'll see how long they last.

I've never lost a lenses while riding, but I'm mostly in flatwater.

I wear Cooper Vision Biofinity Toric.. best ones I tried through 1-800-contacts..I think i will try riding with them and if any issues i will get some floating sunglasses. Thanks for all of your input guys. I appreciate it!

I have been riding with contacts for 14 years now and have never lost a par in the water. I do sometimes have to stop and wait for the contact to recenter. I am now using Birdz Eyewear SeaHawk Sunglasses. They are cheep enough that I don't care what happens to them. Even if I didn't have contacts I would still use some kind of sunglasses for the glare on the water

Thanks for pointing that out. I researched it and found a lot had residue that caused discomfort. I checked all my boxes and they were OK. If you use these lenses, here's a link to check http://www.coopervision.com/recall#edit-sku
