Mike,

My eyes are unfortunatly not what they were... Here in Norway, where dust isn't an issue, but rain and cold is, I always wear contact lenses since I find that glasses fog up, or get covered in raindrops.

I have previously used contact lenses while hunting without problems in both Zim and Namibia, but found this last summer that my contact lenses got more "gunked up" then they have before. This could be quite irritating. I use disposable lenses, so would sometimes switch to fresh ones midday which helped a bit.

However, I am considering using glasses next time, to avoid potensially having a gunked up contact lense if a tense situation pops up when hunting dangerous game. I didn't have a problem with a gunked up lense when things were tricky last summer (like when we were charged etc), but you never know if Murphy will be lurking around the corner next time I hunt elephant or buffalo!

I discussed this quite a lot with my PH Myles McCallum, as his eye sight is also getting poorer, and he was seriously considering getting glasses. A previous client of his who is an eye doctor advised him that with the dust etc, glasses would be best, to avoid the chances of getting eye infections.

Erik
