Hello,
Im having contact lens issues. Basically they keep escaping as im riding. I know another chap at the cycling club has the same issue. Anyone have any tips/ solutions apart from getting percription sunnies?

I know the price is fairly high but it pays itself back over the long term, plus all the issues with swimming, discomfort, losing them etc, disappear.
Then you can buy any fancy-assed sunnies you like!
Otherwise try different lenses - the silicone hydrogel soft jobbies I have started using are more comfortable and put up with leaking goggles while swimming etc etc.
Treefrog - I always wear contacts + goggles when swimming. As I say the newer ones seem to stay in - had a few flooded masks while scuba diving and didnt lose them... Doubt they would last without goggles :-)
Thanks for all your replys. Perhaps I do have dry eye sometimes. Generally on training rides its happy days but when I push it on time trials or decents (30+mph) my eyes water like mad and out they go! I do wear sunnies too!
Oh well. Im with tree frog on eye surgery, mainly becuase I cant afford the rent let alone getting the old blinkers zapped.
I could always go out Laurent Fignon style!!!???

A lot of them are saying to go with eye surgery. We'll I'd go with the majority too. If you really love biking, buying dailys would really cost you. If you save up all the money you use to buy dailys you would save enough for the surgery. That's the best option, but the dailys are not taken out of the picture.
