Eyewear while /out/

I wear contacts and am basically blind without them. I also have to use those hydrogen peroxide solutions that neutralize overnight due to sensitive eyes.

I bring my one pair of contacts and in my kit, some alcohol scrubs for making sure my fingers are clean of dirt. After scrubbing and drying I also then kind rub my fingertips together, to get rid of the fibers left by the pad.

I also bring my glasses in case I need to see at night to pee or want to stargaze, fend off nocturnal cairn builders, get attacked by skin walkers etc. If I lose a contact lens or drop it in the dirt I would also go to the glasses for the rest of the trip. But, I hate wearing glasses so my contacts are my primary. If you find glasses comfortable then by all means just wear those, but it's advisable to have a backup pair in that case if you have myopia to any degree.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to be paranoid about your eyes when /out/. Bring a good pair of comfortable sunglasses and I also personally bring a pair of safety glasses (good ones, not the cheap boxy kind that you get free in tool kits and shit) for various uses. Maybe that comes from working in EMS but I think it's a good idea.

Your eyes are necessary for a full life, difficult to impossible to fix, and you can't grow them back. Furthermore you really cant /out/ without seeing. Take care of them.

Also forgot to mention, as far as contact cases go, the little pouch that hangs inside most tents seems to be a good spot for them. I tuck a pair of socks or my glasses case or whatever against and around them to keep it upright and level so I won't knock it in the night...this is more important with my solution type than normal solutions, though, since it has to sit upright to neutralize properly.

>hurrrrr Anon just get Lasix

Will eventually. I'm just now comfortable with the maturity of the technology, and my optometrist recommended letting my vision stabilize which it is starting to do. Couple more years.

I wear glasses and occaisanally start to wander around without them at night. Makes every bunch of trees look like a bigfoot/skinwalker/faery.

I have glasses and have a pair of clip-on sunglasses for the sunny days.
Works really well.
