In this discussion about sailors wearing contact lenses I'm quite surprised
that nobody has mentioned the extended use soft lens. I use Focus Night &
Day and wear them for about six weeks at a time.

I'm also over 50 so reading glasses are the norm for someone like me. I use
a system called monovision which means one eye can read the chart or the
hand bearing compass and the other is for distance. Its an excellent system
for sailors but saline eye drops are a must a couple of time a day to
prevent lens sticking or falling out.


G'day Nicholas
How do you go with monovision at night? I'm land based a the moment but
will be boat based in a couple of years. I'm finding that monovision
for me is a bit less than perfect at night and am a litle concerned that
it won't be adequate on the boat. Comment?
