What should I do if I have severe myopia while swimming?

There are many people wearing myopia glasses, but the degree of myopia of each person is different. For example, some people are 100 or 200 degrees myopic, and the myopia eyes of such people are relatively thin. In addition, some people wear thick lenses, and the myopia of such people is more serious, such as 700 or 800 degrees or even up to 1,000 degrees, which is considered high myopia. Such people may not be able to see anything clearly without glasses, so they will have difficulties when swimming. How to solve this problem?

What should I do if I have severe myopia while swimming?

If you have severe myopia, it will be very troublesome to learn swimming and swim in daily life. What can you do?

Many people may swim directly with their glasses on, which is a bad idea because it is equivalent to swimming in a swimming pool with naked eyes, especially a public swimming pool, which is very dirty and will cause damage to the eyes and is also not good for the glasses.

Swimming with naked eyes, as mentioned above, lacks eye protection and can easily cause the glasses to become red, astringent, or feel like there is a foreign body in them.

And because you can't see clearly, it's easy to bump into others, and it's also difficult to learn because you can't see clearly and have no sense of direction.

It is very dangerous to swim with contact lenses because they are more easily absorbed by germs and can cause discomfort or infection.

Wearing contact lenses + ordinary swimming goggles seems to be a good idea. If you can ensure that the swimming goggles are waterproof, there is indeed no problem. However, it is easy to be touched by others in the swimming pool, which also poses a risk.

Finally, wear swimming goggles with prescription, and try to make the prescription about 100 degrees lower than the actual prescription, because of the effect of water under the swimming pool, and the actual prescription may cause dizziness. Also, please take off your goggles to breathe every half an hour or so, because your eyes also need to breathe, and you will feel uncomfortable if they are isolated for a long time. There is no difference between these glasses and ordinary swimming goggles.

Currently, the best degree supported by swimming goggles is 500. If the degree does not exceed this, you can choose one and there will be no difference. If the degree exceeds this, you can contact the manufacturer for custom-made ones.

People with high myopia should pay attention to eye hygiene when swimming, and also pay attention to possible collisions caused by slippery ground, stairs, and crowded crowds.

Keep your own things separate from others to prevent taking the wrong things and avoid unnecessary trouble.
