I've always been fearful of correcting my -7 short-sighted vision with anything other than spectacles. Probably started while I was working as an electrical engineer at a steelworks and being told of the risks of watching a high intensity electric arc from welding or a high voltage electric contact break and then inadvertantly peeling away your cornea removing a contact lens because of the fluid between the two drying out.

- test1235 10y agoI have contact lens for my -8/-8.5. I've never been exposed to anything as intense as welding, but when my lens dried out from exposure to a bbq or bonfire, they're more likely to fall out of my eye than stick to it. The lens kinda goes brittle rather than shrinkwrap onto my eye.
