Risk of loss of Soflens during water skiing.
Ten soft contact lens wearers, who were also water skiers, each skied a minimum of ten times while wearing soft contact lenses (Bausch and Lomb Soflens). There was good subjective comfort and visual acuity for all subjects. Data relating to falls while skiing were recorded for each trial (total 119). No lenses were lost by any participant even though in ninety-one (76%) of the 119 trials, the skier's head became submerged. The data suggest that the risk of Soflens loss following a water-skiing fall is extremely low.
