Does anyone else suggest a certain type of rewetting drops for RGP's that work well? Ones that you put in your eyes while the lenses are in to re-wet them. Sweet said that they like Blink drops, but I just wanted to get any other opinons. And I assume I just look for drops that are for RGP's when I am looking.
What activities CAN'T I do in RGP's?

Re: What activities CAN'T I do in RGP's?
I use Minims, but find that its better if you take the lenses out, put in the drops then put the lenses back in. But if its not poss to remove the lenses then I just use the drops.
I get my drops from my GP, they are similar to systane

Donna-Do you put the drops into your eyes or into the lenses when you take them out?

Re: What activities CAN'T I do in RGP's?
I always use Systane eye drops prior to putting lenses in and drink plenty of water and avoid drinks that have dieretic ingredients.
Cycle, run, do the gym, been on roller coasters, log flumes, asault courses and swimming (wear a swim mask if got lenses in) and in over 3 years never (touch wood) had a problem.
The only thing I am unable to do with lenses is competative motor sport because under FIA and MSA reglations RGP lenses are banned if you compete in cars, but OK if you ride a bike
On the beach I always wear my tinted safety glasses wihch are like wrap round sun glasses but allow me to see through the side shields. Vary rarely do I get dust in my eye when wearing them.
