I'm falling apart as I'm getting older and now can't see too well when out on foil I have been thinking H2O trailblazer glasses with prescription lenses has anyone had experience of them.

Contacts out of the question?

I've worn contacts the whole time, for 6 years, and they fit surprisingly well. Eating it in shorebreak, crashing at my intermediate sub 30kt speeds, they've stayed where they should be.

I wear contacts all the time as well, and like aero says, I’ve never had an issue with losing them. I have even opened eyes underwater when I’ve really had to and they stayed put, but probably a bit of luck on that one.


But if you’re not into the idea of contacts I think prescription sunnies are the only other real way to go. I did wear them right back when learning, but as I got better I found there really wasn’t enough water flushing them and was ending up with a different variety of sight impairment.
