Wearing Contacts

See now I cant wear my contacts while driving, they dry out and start to bother me especially at night. Plus the issue of having clean hands handling them, so instead I just wear my glasses, got tinted glasses for the sun. Wish I could wear contacts they are more comfortable and I look better without glasses. But if you park at a truck stop every night you can go wash your hands and take em out in the truck, I wouldnt be taking out my contacts in a truck stop bathroom. But the nights where you're parking is limited to an onramp, weigh station, or the shipper you might now have the option to go wash your hands.

 

Get yourself a pair of regular glasses and maybe sunglasses too. You should have been doing this all along since you could have problems. But I can only say that if your eyes are like mine and can not see without them. Then if anything happens you can at least keep going.

 

I ware soft lenses. I would recommend that you do the same for several reasons.

1: They are easier to Handel
2: If you lose one, oh well put in another.
3: if you have to you can sleep in them.

I bought a vanity mirror at wal-mart. Works great for putting in my contacts. I keep water on the truck for drinking and washing. I hold on to the edge of the contacts and rinse them off over my trash can. I also have my glasses with me so If i need to I can ware them. Every once in a while I ware my glasses on a off day to give my eyes a break from the contacts.
