Hey Chie-can you bring a copy of your contact lens RX to class Monday?

I have a prescription mask too but it annoys me cause i have to take out my contacts to use it so i mostly just use a regular mask if im going in the pool and stuff. Chie, are you trying to steal my dive buddy... you have yogaboy!!! See you ladies tonight

Wouldn't you have had better look selling alcohol to sorority girls CT?

I did that too. Sloppy just isn't what I look for in a lady.

I'm stuck with hard gas perm contacts. I wear them part of the time when diving. I have lost a few, that's what my older lenses are for. You can do every skill with your eyes closed, including mask removal and replacement. If you can't, you need to practice it, you may need to someday.

I am stuck with gas perm lenses too. I've already tried getting out of them via Lasic or another operation. Only problem is that my vision is so bad that it would take several months out of contacts before I could have the lasic procedure. During that period my Rx would change several times since the constant pressure from the hard lenses have kept my Rx the same for the last 12 years.

I've been lucky and never lost a lens yet. I carry a spare set of lenses when I dive just in case if one pops out in the drink.
