I've been wearing glasses since I was like 7.
At 33 I reached my limit riding with glasses them getting fogged up, sweaty, seems like worse Vision at night etc and I race lot of night races.
I have never had luck with contacts but have been trying them for about month and half now or so wearing them almost everyday.
My problem is half the time they get blurry or foggy doesn't really bother me normal day to say stuff but when riding I literally can't see ruts etc as well.
I've ridden I think 5-6 times with them and only once did I go almost whole day with almost no issues.
Is it something I need to give more time or maybe I just can't wear them riding or need different ones ?
I'm wearing dailies aqua comfort plus my eye doctor said daily ones would be best for me doing mx my script is -8.50 in both eyes.
When they are not blurry etc it's freaking awesome no more fogging up sweat etc but riding today they got blurry half time riding making it harder to go fast and dangerous.
Any help it suggestions would be awesome.
Thanks!

Do you have a astigmatism in one of your eyes? I know early on my Dr did not think my astigmatism was bad enough to require a toric lens but after a month of blurry vision he finally switched me to a toric in my left eye.
Another option is corrective surgery..ever thought of that?
Maybe try making sure that your goggles aren't letting any air through, that could be causing them to get dry/blurry.
I know if I take my goggles off even when just trail riding my contacts get really blurry.
The Shop
I rode a whole day indoors almost no issues then today got to ride outside and was horrible all day.
My buddy told me to give it another month but that just doesn't seem right to take that long get used them he wears the ones you can just leave in for like week or two straight.
Thanks for input I might call eye doctor and go back in too i went to a new person this time and seemed to do a good job with everything.
Although a buddy of mine had lasicks and said it made him faster
Good luck with them!
I had the same issues as the OP when I wore contacts many years ago and it was usually caused by concentrating so intently that I forgot to blink.
Pit Row
I did a moto recently where it was pretty cold and windy and did have a problem with my vision blurred from excessive eye watering but I'm not sure that had anything to do with the contacts, probably more so the cold. It was in the 40's that day.
Order several pairs of prescription glasses and sunglasses while you're shopping at Zenni, you'll be a lifelong customer, too...
Now quit ********** around Mike, go to Zenni with YOUR prescription. Do it now.

FRAME #703318 still $35... JUST CHECKED
Also,for my fellow "four-eyed freaks", go get your prescription from your eye doctor ( some are reluctant to actually give you that - YOUR information) and then order a bunch of $7-15 dollar spectacles and sunglasses. Youll thank me later....

Also what name brand goggle frame are u using with this lense?
Dailies do not work for moto. I wear the 30 day day and nights. I put them in and leave them there for months at a time and they work awesome for moto
I've been using some OAKLEYS of late, I suppose you could do tear offs like any other goggle, the lenses from Zenni go inisde your regular goggles....
The only thing i can put it down to is not blinking enough, then wen i finally do blink the lens is dry and it folds up and falls into my goggles. It sucks halfway through a moto wen u lose one or two of your contacts.
Anybody got any advice? i have a hard enough time telling myself to breathe, stand, sit, brake, throttle squeeze with legs, relax arms etc. Now it looks like i also need to remind myself to blink as well.
the worst is when they get dust in them
I have two pairs zenni glasses same everything just different frames but if I switch back and forth throws me off for little bit.
I thought about trying the goggle insert thing I'm just so blind that I always have to have goggles on or glasses on or I'm not seeing lol.
But if I can't get contacts to work I might try those zenni inserts Rupert
