bshultz0930 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 How many of you wear your contacts while riding? any tips to keep them from getting dry? i usually wear my glasses while riding simply due to the possibility of a contact giving me issues, but id rather not have to wear glasses. tips? suggestions?

JustinNck1 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 When I wore contacts, i always rode with visor down, chin curtain in. My contacts didn't like the wind very well, plus I have allergies. Now, i have perfect vision without any contacts or glasses. Lasik is worth every penny...

Habi Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Just as above, use the chin curtain and shield. I used to ride with sunglasses but they can be a pain sometimes. I just got used to it and now it doesn't bother me at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 My wife @snot has dry eye issues and she uses a gel type eye moisturizer at night, but said it blurs her vision -- so she uses a liquid moisturizer during the day. Not sure what kind she uses, but I believe it's been fairly effective when she's riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue-yamaR6s Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I have had the some issues while riding with contacts. Dries out pretty quickly. I will bring my glasses just in case I have to ditch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bshultz0930 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Just now, Isaac's Papa said: I stopped using contacts. Too much of a pain in the ass. I can see well enough during the day that I don't need them. At night, I use my glasses. I can't say wind was ever an issue for me, but my eyes are very wet. Doc says they're well lubricated. I wish i had wet eyes. between smoking and dealing with all the chemicals and shit at work, my eyes dry up with contacts easily. due to responses i might just ever forget wearing contacts while riding. both helmets i own have chin guards and my visor is always down, but my contacts will get spotty after an hour or two of riding. thought id ask! thanks for all the replies!

max power Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 If my eyes get wind in them they water like crazy. Try riding with the visor up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 At night I use a generic eye ointment for lubricantion, day when needed just drops for extreme dry eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
