What I wanted to know was if wearing contacts while sinking could cause issues. Since two people so far have chime in saying no I think I'm good without the goggles.

Re: Sinking With Contact Lenses
Sorry for any confusion, my concern was not protecting my eyes, that's never been an issue for me.

Re: Sinking With Contact Lenses
I wore contacts for years without issue. They were forbidden at first where I worked because of the supposed threat from particles of what we produced getting in there. That was finally dropped because it just wasn't a problem. Never had mud trouble with them but glasses were a fight just because of sweat always being in my eyes and couldn't get to them.
It's a dirty job but I got to do it for 27 years. Thank you.

Re: Sinking With Contact Lenses
I should start making a habit of using my disposable contacts more when sinking. I like being able to see when I'm almost going under... not to mention that the mud already claimed a pair of sports glasses that at the time, I only bought a month previously...
