HELP! kiten with kontaktlenses !?

[freakandstyle.com]

Hi,

a friend of me wants to start with kiting but he  has kontactlenses and he gets problems with little partikels/like sand/.. when ist windy.

Do you know a google who saves the eye 100% for sand/wind, looks stylish and he can use it in the water??

..not a divermmask ;-), not aquaspehere,.

Thanks

[Joris]

solutions for this kinda problems are usually not really stylish

With soft lenses it shouldn't be a problem. I'm surfing for about 14 years with lenses and i lost 1 lens!
But be carefull with hard lenses. I don't think sand and hard lenses is a good combination!!

Seaspecs glasses are good foor kiting!

I wakeboard/waterski/swim actually all the time with hard lenses, just shut your eyes before a big splash Sand can be very annoying on the beach, but I doubt that will bother you on the water. Besides, you usually don't look straight upwind anyway

Or you could try a Diving Google

Hi a freind of mine asked his optometrist about somekind of Nike lenses??? he heard about, this could be a solution to your problem.
He also showed him a pair of Adidas goggles whitch compleetly cover your eyes and lockout most of the water. inside the goggles a small pair of glasses suitable for your eyes  can be clicked in!

Goodluck searching!

Sport-tinted contact lenses

During my trip in Zuid-Afrika and Maui I used sport-tinted contact lenses from Nike Maxsight. It’s the same as using sunglasses it’s really comfortable for on the water. The contact lenses are bigger than the normal ones so you will not loose them when water come into your eyes.

I wear daily disposable lenses and keep a couple of spare pairs with me. I lose about 2-3 a year.

I use to kite with contacts, no problems at all.....lost twice a contact by f@#king up kitelooplandings.
Just get a laserjob....it's worth it 
In time you will earn your money back, that you use to spend on contacts.

i also had disposable lenses and lost quite a lot.

since im wearing lensen wich i can wear for a month and sleep with them i have no problems with it anymore.

laserjob is on my list (after new kites)

I use to have those expensive contacts you can wear for a month....day and night. They're very comfy, and I almost forgot that I used contacts. Did that for 8 years and f@#cked up my eyes!!
So, don't use them nonstop for a month!!!
I got a laserjob, and more than happy since.
