If you use goggles when you swim, is it ok to keep your contact lenses on?

you can swim with contacts on and you dont need to get prescription goggles. i've been swimming competitively for 5 years and i always wear my contacts. prescription goggles are expensive, ugly and a pain in the butt

i think there is no problem, take care do not forget to wear ur goggles before entering water other wise ur contacts will be washed off.

Anytime is a good time for contact lenses.

I have prescription goggles. They aren't that expensive, and you can get really cheap ones for non-prescription, in + or - up to 5 diopters correction. When your correction is built in to the goggle, it just makes life a whole lot simpler. Most swim shops carry them, and some of the swim supply shops at the pools also have them.

Get a pair of prescripted goggle; it's everywhere on the Internet. They come in negative 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and etc. Just get the nearest one.

Ask your eye doctor for googles that have your prescription in them.

Yes it's fine. I've been doing it for years. I can't see without my contacts so I either wear goggles or just keep my eyes closed when I go under water.

Yea its ok, I'm thinking its ok to leave them in even when you aren't wearing goggles. I do and it doesn't really bother my eyes that much and I've never lost a contact lens in the pool, I've had them for three and a half years
