Skiing with contacts

No problems for me whatsoever, as other posters say, goggles better than sunnies though.

No problems for me either and I wear dailies. You get used to keeping spares with you :-)

Thank you. He wears disposables and seems to have millions of pairs so I guess losing one isn't an issue.

Will let him know goggles probably best, but he will probably give glasses a go too.

Good advice lovely people. Thank you x

I only need glasses for distance so tend not to wear any lenses during the week due to computer work but almost always wear dailies at the weekend..skiing is no different and in fact when i have them in i have forgotten them and even got to sleep in them..not the done thing but not caused me an issue..the one thing that i always do is carry a spare pair with me and also some artificial tears which are probably more use than having a spare pair.

I have worn contacts for several years now for cricket, badminton and skiing...not all at the same time I may add. I also have some prescription sunnys which I wear on sunny days instead. The main problem with contacts is that when I stop for a meal/drink at lunchtime I cant see the bloody menu or prices so I have to carry a cheap set of reading glasses as well. Defeating the object comes to mind!! SOOO this season I am trying goggles with prescription inserts in my NEW goggles so when I take them off it will allow me to read things in the bar, see my money and be able to do up buttons and stuff again without looking like a blind prate. If I ever find my way back to the UK again I will let you know how I got on! :D

I negotiated with my optitian a prescription daily lens that was a compromise so that distance was driving legal but not 20/20 so that I could then read the menu (at arms length!). works for me :)

My sister started wearing varifocal contact lenses for golf and skiing a couple of years ago.
Don't know anything about them - except she likes them.

I have no issues with them at all, i much prefer them to wearing glasses as they can be a pain with goggles.
Never had any issues skiing that are not issues at home.
