I have what‘s most likely a stupid question regarding this matter. I have some shifty eyesight, but corrected it‘s 20/20. My problem is that I can‘t physically wear glasses and feel comortable. I‘ve worn contact lenses since I was 12 or 13, to the point now where I forget I even own glasses. Physically, I feel more confident and able.
With that said, I understand the maintenence concerns of wearing contact lenses. Fluid can be combersome and a bitch to carry. They may tend to tear away when in heavy winds, dirt and dust can be a pain too.
My last trip (I‘ve been 2 or 3 times now) to a recruiter answered many questions I had, this however is something that hadn‘t crossed my mind till now. Do the CF have any policy or guidelines regarding the use pf prescription contact lenses?
Obviously it‘s not a big deal either way, but if anyone has any ideas I‘m open =)
(...and yes, lasik is something I‘ve been looking at seriously)
