Cycling and Contact Lenses

If you have a significant prescription and cycle then you know the spectacle options for you are limited.  To have the best "wrapped" style specs for cycling, you may need to ignore your correction and go without or use those small lens inserts.

Have you considered contacts as an option? 

Not all contacts are suitable for a cyclist though; daily replacements are definitely the best to opt for.  If you are anything like my husband, you will most likely return from cycling with mud all over the place.  There is lots of bacteria out there and you don't want that affecting your eyes.  Make sure to remove your contacts if you get anything in your eyes.  But please - wash your hands before if you can.

Some contacts will offer better "breathability" for you when cycling.  A favourite of mine is Dailies Total 1.  They are so comfortable you may forget you have them in so don't forget to remove when you return from cycling or before going to sleep.
