Glasses fogging up (was Visibility on rainy nights)

My glasses have inserts for vision correction and so taking them off is definitely not possible :-). pull them forward off your face so there's more cool air between them and your warm face. It's about the only solution and it's not a very good one.... Zebee |

Since then I've gone for prescription sunnies, or contacts. Recently I got some contacts I can sleep in (actually can wear them for a week or more), which is great because it is horrible having to put them in early in the morning, in a rush and with sleepy eyes. |

Is that safe? A lot safer than wearing daily contacts overnight (which I've done, though not intentionally). You get up the next morning and try to peel your eyeballs off. Good fun. Zebee is talking about the "monthlies", good for a week at a time between normal cleans, are better as far as oxygen ingress is concerned so can be kept in for longer. But contacts won't solve fog problems if you still wear glasses (albeit sunglasses) because I want to protect my eyeballs against flying garbage on the bike regardless of my eyesight issues. -- Linux Registered User # 302622 http://counter.li.org |

Yup, eyelids are crap protective googles. I the same vein as carrying a rain coat means you'll hardly ever use it, I've found that carryng an eyewash cup and saline soluion works (is handy in case). |

Is that safe? I've been wearing 'extended wear' lenses for well over 30 years now, no dramas at all. I get considerably more than a month out of them, with no issues at all. But I do get regular check-ups. It's just like having good eyesight again without any of the drawbacks of spectacles. -- Karen If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.' Catherine Aird |

I've found that carryng an eyewash cup and saline soluion works (is handy in case). And an eyewash cup doesn't fix scratched corneas either. -- Linux Registered User # 302622 http://counter.li.org |

And an eyewash cup doesn't fix scratched corneas either. exactly. |

Catherine Aird Yes Doc it does seem to be safe, although the optometrist gives you the standard warning to protect himself. I've been using them without dramas, although I reserve them for occasional surfing and some longer rides or races, because when I wear them, I need reading glasses. Otherwise, I'd be happy to wear them like DB, day in day out. They took a week or two to get used to, now they feel good. Donga |
