Contacts when diving

[Ontwreckdiver]

"One often overlooked problem is that defogging chemicals
are often applied to the inside of masks;divers wearing soft
lenses should minimize the use of such agents, since the lenses
may absorb them and be a source of irritation."


That's why I never use defogger, just old fashioned spit.

Ontwreckdiver – My comments had nothing to do with profit motives RE Rx masks – I merely recommend divers should remove and disinfect (or replace) contacts after diving. Not all may have as hardy a constitution as you.

Saliva is known to have LOTS of bacteria vs. manufactured surfactants; low-cost baby shampoo works great with zero infection risks.
