Wearing Contact Lenses While Diving

[punisher]

If you plan to do a Scuba Diving for Some time...and you have the money go ahead and buy Prescription Masks....[ Not the add ons..But, buy the actual ones...] But if you really like your contacts then stick with them...But make sure you use disposable contact lenses for Diving...cause salt water will get into ur contact lenses mos likely and irritate u for quite some time until u clean it.. otherwise if u use a daily disposable only for Diving then u can use them and throw them when u resurface and wear ur normal ones.. How does that sound... But it is completely safe and ignore DAN.. or whatever infection he is talking about it is total bullshit..

Lynn: I have worn them for years. Bring an extra pair if problem developes. Also, Bring your regular glasses. Practice with the lenses in, in the pool especially clearing the mask with your eyes closed. Practice with them. Hope this helps.

yes. I'm a springboard diver and i wear contact lenses even when i smack my face on the water. just don't open your eyes underwater without wearing goggles.

I wear glasses not contacts. What i've found is that for farsighted people, like me, the water is like glasses because it magnifies. before you worry too much, put on a mask and look around underwater without glasses and see if you still need them as much as you thought.

I always use contacts when diving, and it is no way a problem for me. I can also open my eyes underwater with no ill effects, though, so if that is a problem for you I'd be more concerned.

Hello
i like to share my idea.
I have been wearing contact lenses for over 30 years. I am a Master Scuba Diving Instructor and wear contact lenses. I wear gas permeable because they let the eye water unlike the soft.

I never had a problem on diving as i wore them since childhood.But sometimes it creates problem if you spend more time under water.
