Riding With Contact Lens!

[Mr. SR500]

Just got a set of contacts myself (first in about 20 yrs), very pleased. Congrats and enjoy!

I am so envious.
I had a contact rejection issue in my early 30s. I try the new and improved models almost every year and still cannot tolerate them. Surgery is not an option because I overproduce scar tissue. My opthamologist doesn't think I should chance it.
I am stuck in prescription sports glasses. I have a double chin to boot!

I've been wearing contacts longer than I've had my bike -- didn't realize regular glasses are not so good at protecting your eyes when you ride.

I find the interchangeable lenses on my sunglasses are excellent. I can get away with dark lenses (I highly recommend polarized lenses) for most conditions plus a pair of yellow ones for riding at dusk. If you ride in the dark you might want clear ones, too. Although I find the yellow ones actually brighten things up as the sun sets.

I can't imagine riding in my glasses (progressives). I wear my contacts from the minute I get up to the minute I get into bed. If I am sick enough to wear my glasses, I am too sick to ride!
My Smith sunglasses are also great (the ones for small heads). I actually have two pairs, as DH bought a pair and they were just too small for him. I keep one with the dark lenses in all of the time and one with the amber. At times, I switch those to clear lenses for night time riding.
