[pct-l] Glasses or contacts

[Richard Brinkman]

I have been wearing my glasses much more than my contacts.  This was not expected but is working out ok.  If I could do it over I would use daily contacts as Yogi suggests but would still likely be wearing my transition glasses half the time.

Originally I used contacts. I found that it was just too difficult to be clean enough. Also,that means I had contacts plus sunglasses (essential in my opinion). I now use glasses that darken in sunlight(transitions). Have a back up pair that could be sent to you if needed. The earpiece broke on mine on my last hike. Be incredibly careful in cleaning them. Avoid easily scratched coatings like anti glare.
