"Keeping sprayskirts and prescription glasses secured has been a bigger issue.
Man, I hate wearing glasses for this sport! And I've had contacts washed out
too."





I currently use a pair of plastic rimmed glasses (no metal to corrode in salt
water), with a folded neoprene retaining band held onto the arms of the frame
by a tight whipping. I then attach a short length of bungy looped at each end,
and clip this to my PFD. A fiddly arrangement, but when turbulent water
removes my glasses in surf, they are there dangling on the end of the bungy
cord ready to be retrieved. 


Has anyonel come up with a good arrangement for glasses? Is laser eye surgery
the real solution?





Regards, PT
