I tried a search on this forum , but only found a thread from 2011 that had conflicting information.
I have rigid (gas permeable) contact lenses and am nearly legally blind without. I also have glasses I can wear. Switching to daily/soft lenses won't work for me as, according to my eye doctor, they don't come strong enough for me.
Would you take your contacts out to go to the water park and trust your travel companions to read any warnings you can't see? Everything looks like fuzzy shapes so I'm sure I won't run into anybody/anything, but I can't see any detail.
My eye doctor offers prescription goggles, but on the thread I found is seems that sometimes they don't let you wear goggles on the slides so it probably is not worth the extra expense.
I'm definitely not taking my lenses in and out of my eyes all day. I can wear glasses to and from the park, and when we are eating/relaxing. I am bringing my spare pare of lenses on the trip, and I could, in theory, chance it and just close my eyes on the slides.
What do other Gas-permeable contact lens wearers do. what is your experience with slides and goggles. Are they allowed on some, but not others or is there a blanket rule against goggles?
