Glare and Squinty Eyes

With the averge age of the kneeboarder these days this area should be used to post issues on health matters (surfer's ear, knee surgery, stretches, etc).

Eg if you take it to extremes the periphery of the lens will sit under your lids better and probably stay in - at the expense of reduced oxygen availability at the edge of your cornea - depending on your script.

You might have to got to two weekly disposables? More parameters to play with.

Just ask your eye care person first :)
My scrip is out and going to see the Doc this week. I am on daily disposables now are you suggesting weekly?

I have used these for a couple of years and am really happy with them. http://www.seaspecs.com/html/specifications.html . I don't need a distance prescription (yet) but have noted that they do prescriptions as well. I told my optometrist about these when she asked if I wore sunglasses, she now wears them (didn't know she surfed).
Cheers, BDW

...will get you the initials of a surf company that also make a rashie with inbuilt loop for hat and goggle savers. Or, you could get any rashie with a looped - care instructions - label on the inside neck. Thanks for the monofilament idea.

perhaps don't use eye drops containing preservatives?

see an optometrist and/or/ opthamologist for specialist advice so as to avoid ocular rebound conjestion, conjunctivital hyperaemia - and the like
