Re: [Paddlewise] Prescription glasses

Ain't it the truth!!  I used to have 20/20 vision - but that was long
gone by the time I discovered kayaking, so I never got to enjoy being
able to just plain see everything without drops & smears of water on my
glasses.  I haven't had any problem keeping them on - I also have plastic
rimmed glasses, and I use a neoprene holder with a Chums float on it, so
that if I did lose the glasses, they would float.  I can't bear the
thought of putting contacts in my eyes, but I had considered trying it
for kayaking.  Doug just finished that thought off.  And, chicken though
I am, I have been fantasizing about the laser surgery.
