 Re: Contact Lenses & diving I dive with soft contact lenses and have always done so - but my optician recommended using daily disposable lenses and throwing them away each time you get out of the water so that nothing nasty from the pool can live on in them. I have never had a problem with them -- samdive look at my website if you are interested, its all there www.samdive.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ samdive's Profile: http://forums.deeperblue.net/member....fo&userid=1203 View this thread: http://forums.deeperblue.net/showthr...threadid=58943 ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =----  |
