Scuba Diving with Contact Lenses⁚ My Experience

I’ve always loved scuba diving, but I’ve also always worn contact lenses. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to dive with my contacts in, but I was determined to find a way. I did some research and found that there are a few different options for scuba diving with contact lenses. I decided to try out hard contact lenses.

Introduction

I’ve always been fascinated by the underwater world, and scuba diving has always been a dream of mine. However, I’ve also worn contact lenses for as long as I can remember, and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to dive with them in. I did some research and found that there are a few different options for scuba diving with contact lenses, but I was hesitant to try them out. I was afraid that they would be uncomfortable or that I would lose them underwater.

Finally, I decided to give hard contact lenses a try. I went to my eye doctor and got fitted for a pair. The lenses were a bit uncomfortable at first, but I got used to them after a few days. I practiced wearing them in the pool and in the ocean, and I was happy to find that they were comfortable and secure.

My first scuba diving experience with hard contact lenses was amazing. I was able to see the underwater world clearly and without any discomfort. I was so glad that I had decided to try hard contact lenses, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to scuba dive with contact lenses.

Here are some of the benefits of scuba diving with hard contact lenses⁚

• They provide clear vision underwater.
• They are comfortable and secure.
• They are less likely to fog up than soft contact lenses.
• They can be worn for extended periods of time.

If you are considering scuba diving with contact lenses, I would recommend talking to your eye doctor to see if hard contact lenses are right for you.

Researching the Options

Before I went scuba diving with contact lenses, I did a lot of research to find the best option for me. I talked to my eye doctor, read online reviews, and spoke to other scuba divers who wear contact lenses.

I learned that there are three main options for scuba diving with contact lenses⁚

1. Soft contact lenses⁚ Soft contact lenses are the most common type of contact lenses, and they are also the least expensive. However, they are not as well-suited for scuba diving as hard contact lenses or gas permeable contact lenses.
2. Hard contact lenses⁚ Hard contact lenses are more durable and less likely to fog up than soft contact lenses. They are also less likely to be dislodged by water pressure. However, they can be more uncomfortable to wear than soft contact lenses.
3. Gas permeable contact lenses⁚ Gas permeable contact lenses are a hybrid of soft and hard contact lenses. They are made of a rigid material that allows oxygen to pass through to the cornea. This makes them more comfortable to wear than hard contact lenses, but they are also more expensive.

I decided to try out hard contact lenses because they are the most well-suited for scuba diving. I went to my eye doctor and got fitted for a pair. The lenses were a bit uncomfortable at first, but I got used to them after a few days. I practiced wearing them in the pool and in the ocean, and I was happy to find that they were comfortable and secure.

Trying Out Hard Contact Lenses

Once I had my hard contact lenses, I started practicing wearing them in the pool and in the ocean. I wanted to make sure that they were comfortable and secure before I went on a real scuba diving trip.

At first, the lenses were a bit uncomfortable. They felt like they were pressing on my eyes, and they made my eyes water. However, after a few days, I got used to them and they became more comfortable.

I practiced wearing the lenses for several hours at a time, and I even slept in them a few times. I wanted to make sure that they would stay in place and that I would be able to see clearly underwater.

I was happy to find that the lenses were very comfortable and secure. I could wear them for hours at a time without any problems. I also found that I could see clearly underwater, even in low-light conditions.
After a few weeks of practice, I felt confident that I could scuba dive with my hard contact lenses. I went on a scuba diving trip to the Great Barrier Reef, and I was able to dive for several hours at a time without any problems.

Diving with Hard Contact Lenses

On my first scuba dive with hard contact lenses, I was a bit nervous. I wasn’t sure how they would feel underwater, and I was worried that they might fall out. However, my worries were quickly put to rest.

The lenses felt fine underwater. I could see clearly, and they didn’t feel like they were pressing on my eyes. I was also able to equalize the pressure in my ears without any problems.

I dove for several hours that day, and I didn’t have any problems with my contact lenses. They stayed in place the entire time, and I was able to see clearly underwater.

I’ve been diving with hard contact lenses for several years now, and I’ve never had any problems. I’ve dived in all sorts of conditions, from clear water to murky water, and from shallow water to deep water. I’ve never had a problem with my contact lenses falling out or fogging up.

If you’re considering scuba diving with contact lenses, I would recommend trying out hard contact lenses. They are the most well-suited for scuba diving, and they are comfortable, secure, and provide clear vision underwater.
