    My cousin wears her contact lenses all the time, even when swimming and also opens her eyes under water!! The goggles seem like a great idea just to be on the safe side.

    My son wears contacts without the goggles or anything but my wife is terrible with them, it just depends on the person on how you can handle the spray off the slides.[msnwink]

    I think if they are soft they stay in better. Hard ones will float out at any excuse! Anyway, I'm not risking losing them fullstop! Having said that I have showered in mine using the shut eyes method.

    I have an attachment which goes on the ends of the glasses arms and tightens at the back which might work if not to ferocious- I got it for skiing in a previous life. I'm blind as a bat without anything, so wouldn't recognise you Chris no matter how cooool you looked!

    What type of lenses do you wear then first timer. Also my son doesn't mind about his so much as they are dailys so its not the end of the world if he loses them.

    I wear soft contact lenses - the monthly sleep in change every 30 day variety and I never had an issue at W'n'W last time - as others have said I guess it depends on how comfortable you are with splashes etc......I do close my eyes etc when I know I am about to plunge underwater etc.
    I even wore them at DC for the dolphin swim didn't think twice and have never lost one either. I did take spares and my glasses with me to the USA just to be sure.....

    Mine are the hard expensive type, so as I said, I can't risk them.

    Understandable, you don't want to be wandering around with one eye shut for the rest of your holiday.

    We only use the disposable types now so goggles are fine for us. I think the disposables stick to your eye better..... At least it seems like that when you try to get them out again!![B)]

    I wear lenses, but for water parks i wear my glasses which have reactolite lenses so are just like sunglasses.

    My lenses have been okay on splash mountain, duddly do right, bluto and popeye and the terakiki(sic) tidal waves at Busch gardesn as long as i shut my eyes at point of impact. I wouldn't try swimming in them though or especially the wave pool at typhoon lagoon as it is a struggle to not drown never mind not lose lenses.
