Can you wear contacts with goggles over top?!
Question: Can you wear contacts with goggles over top?
(This applies for the ocean too)
Answers:
I swim in my contacts adn dont' bother with goggles over the top. However I do use dailies if I'm swimming so I can throw them out at the end of the day. I swim in both the sea and the pool and have snorkelled using lenses.
contacts don't fall out if you swim in them - I've swum in contacts for 40 years , in pools and rough seas and never lost one. the issue is a slightly increased risk of infection to the contact lens which is why I use dailies. ( I used to swim in hard lenses). this is with my opticians consent.
You can wear goggles over teh top of contacts but it rather gets rid of a lot of the advantages of contacts. I'd suggest that if you don't wear dailies you invest in some for the holdiay. It may be a little late to order though, depends on your perscription.
it is better not to, but if you do want to, make sure the goggles are tight enough - they cant be loose at all - you dont want to loose your contact in a pool! to be on the safe side though, you'd best not.
