Contact lens user just about my whole adult life. 20+ years now.
I think you have to insist your contacts fit properly. This can also play into comfort and the ability for the lens to stay put and not come off as easily.
With that said, I tend to loose contacts from time to time especially in the ocean on heavy wind days. Your gonna take some good wipeouts and yes sometimes you lose a lens. You might consider using a pair of spexusa.com or something like it to keep the spray down.
RainX is nice for the lenses as it can keep the vision fairly clear.
Only once, did I lose both lenses which brought new meaning to riding blind.
I would like to get Lasik but the cost is intense. The contact is the next best thing for sure. Overall, it works fine.
I think I am going to ask for surgery when I turn 40.
Did I just say that???
