Noooo!
Have your doctor
fit you for daily wear contact lenses for beach days. Even if you don't
wear contact lenses that often, dailies are great for outdoor events.
Imagine diving into the ocean from your friend's boat and thinking mid-jump that you are still wearing your expensive eyeglasses, yikes.
Make it easy on yourself this weekend (and for the rest of the summer) and book an appointment with your
optometrist and ask for daily disposal contact lenses. They require no
cleaning and offer amazing clarity for watching the shore while enjoying the
waves.
Warning: if you do
wear contact lenses do not open your eyes under water. Not only would the
lenses possibly float away but also microbes can enter. Oceans are
generally safer environments for eyes, however pools, lakes and Jacuzzi's are
known to carry many more germs. If you're eyes are irritated/red by the
end of a water play day, make sure to remove the lenses into disinfecting
solution and give your eyes the night off by wearing glasses. If they are
daily wear, simply toss them and start a new pair the next day. Infection
prevention is the name of the game.
