KeymasterSo here’s my dilemma…
I have been wearing glasses since I was two years old. I started wearing contacts when I was nine. I finally found a pair that work for me in terms of prescription.
However, because my prescription is so high, I wear gas permeable (hard) lenses. They are so hard, that very rarely when I move my eyes too quickly (faster than I turn my head), my contacts moves out of place from my cornea. (either up or down)
One time, (while at home luckily, not on the road) my contact popped out when I turned too fast. I spoke to my Dr. and he said this is normal for high prescription gas permeable lenses.
He says it even happens to him. He said to train myself to use my head more than my eyes.He also recommended that I keep an emergency pair of glasses in the chance that my contact pops out again, while on the road, while being active, or even in an emergency. (i.e. earthquake in the middle of the night-live in SoCal, “terrorist” attack, etc.)
When I think about it, in a Bug Out situation or TEOTWAWKI situation I am not going to want to waste water to maintain my contacts. (and eventually my solution will run out)
So can anyone recommend a good quality pair of active/tactical/safety glasses that can take prescriptions?
I would prefer something with those removable foam/rubber gaskets that I can install for bike riding, mowing the lawn, skating, etc.Anyone with first hand experience, recommendations?
Thanks guys and stay safe.
Best,
Emmanuel. -
