You may touch the inside of your goggles. Usually it is said that if you touch the inside of your goggles you will leage body oils there. This will cause your goggles to fog up faster. Keeping the inside of your goggles clean, free of body oils and water spots will keep help to keep your goggles fog free.

Gas permeable lenses are safer than soft contacts.  Soft contacts contain a lot of water and can be penetrated by bacteria.  Gas permeable lenses aren't.  They're also better for the health of the cornea (the front of the eye) because they sit on a thin layer of tears, which hydrate and nourish the cornea.

Its because of the chlorine. that fine and normal. Try some eye drops.

The reason they are fogging up is because they are leeking ever so slightly, and then the water is evaportating from the heat coming from your eyes, causing the moisture buildup. You need to find a better pair of goggles that will not leek. My best recommendation is a pair of speedo racer goggles. Best wishes!

could scratch your cornea leading to irritation.  try rinsing it out using some contact lens solution....the kind one stores lenses in

I wear my contacts when i swim, however i have lost one before, so now i wear goggles or am particularly careful when swimming under water.

wearing contacts should be fine considering that you're head is above water the majority of the time.  the only bad thing i can say about wearing contacts during water polo is if you get hit in the eye (it is a very aggressive sport) it could cause the lenses to fall out and if theyre hard lenses it could cause the lens to move off position in your eye so i would recommend soft lenses.  but that rarely happens.\nthere are also lenses that you can wear at night while sleeping which pushes your eye lenses back so when you take them out in the day you can see clearly without wearing anything on your eyes.  there are two types called ortho k and paragon crt.  i heard the paragon crt lens is more advanced but i would ask your eye doctor about what he or she recommends.

Possibly an allergy to a chemical in the solution you use. You could try switching solutions to see if it helps. It'll probably be a good idea to call your optometrist and ask him too.

well, you don't have to open your eyes. you should be fine...if you can't open them, don't try. get goggles, maybe. otherwise, there isn't really a point in trying to open your eyes underwater.

I always swim and scuba dive with my contacts in and have never lost one.  I do carry a spare pair with me just in case, but so far haven't needed them.  I open my eyes under water all the time.  Just be sure to wash them a little extra when you get home.  You never know what is in the water.

Hold it open and let it water, this will be kind of uncomfortable.  If that doesn't work go to an optometrist.  Something in your eye could cause problems (ie cornea abrasion) so be careful!  Go to the doctor asap!

Get one of those eyeglass repair kits.  They have little pads that you can stick on that create traction so your glasses don't slip.

If you dont use goggles .. then the daily contacts is the only thing you should use in the water.. especially in pool water, because contact absorb chlorine and can damage your eye.. \n\nAs long as you use dailies and dont really open your eyes too much under water.. youll be fine\n\nI swam for a long time with goggles and contacts and had no problem

Some people say spitting in them and rubbing it around helps. I usually just dip mine in the pool and swirl them around for a few seconds. Shake off the water and them put them on make sure they have a tight seal and you should be fine.

Use lint free cloths and any Xylene based cleaner (I do not the brands available in your country). You may also use the cleaner liquid available to clean contact lenses. Make sure the glass is completely dried up after cleaning. The mirror mostly located below the lamp. If you see dust on it you may clean it with same cloth and solution. This mirror is front coated one and very much prone to scratches.\n\nFor scanner error it might be some other problem, like driver, twain driver, connecting cable related.

It took me quite awhile to be able to put them in because my eyes were just so freaked out and would shut really easily. Then tried something new after a year of giving up...instead of putting it right in the middle of my eye so you can see your finger coming right at you, haha, I turn my head (to the left for the right eye, and right for the left eye), so the white of my eye is now where the center of my eye used to be. Basically you do the same thing you're taught to but you put it on the white of your eye, then turn your head back to straight. The contact will naturally glide over to your pupil and then once most of the bubbles are gone, close your eyes gently and viola. The white of your eye is not nearly as sensitive as your pupil. I CAN'T touch my pupil, it hurts. Anyway, I hope this helps!

fog happens in goggles when your face heats the air pockets inside the lens to a higher temp than the water or the oppisite. there arent may ways to prevent this. some swimmers allow a little bit of water into the pocket to keep them from fogging as much, but this trick soon fades, but lasts longer than spit. if you are swimming in water approx. the same temp as your body this wont happen at all.
