I wore hard contacts on and off for 12 years and except for the last
year was very happy with them (just grew intolerant).
I too scubaed (sic) with them and loved it;
BUT I have read that it is possible to do damage to your eye by
SCUBA diving with lenses.  I don't remember exactly, but it had something
to do with gases disoving in the tears beneath the contacts - anyone
know anything about this?  Does it go for soft (or as I have now perma)
lenses as well ?
