same on this end.

as long as you get decent contacts, take care of them and don't have weird eyes, you should be fine with contacts.

The alternative laser procedure (PRK) doesn't have this particular risk.

i am not so sure if wearing contacts while fight is safe because most of the time when i get hit in face i get hit in the eye area my eyes were working just fine last sunday then monday on my eyes just got worse and worse i dont even know why

well, stop getting hit in the face then. duh.

what neildo said.

but yeah, i've been hit in the eye area and usually been fine unless the contacts are old, my eyes or dry or some combo.

if you're getting hit with a glove you should be fine. the only times my contact fucked with me otherwise was when someone accidentally touched my eye with a finger or something.

Go upstairs and tell your mommy to take you to the eye doctor and stop being a dumbass. Obviously if you get hit in the eyes and you begin having trouble seeing there is a problem.

If you have a detached retina (that is part of your eye that helps you see) you could go blind.

Oh and don't ask for medical advice on a MA website ........nevermind, maybe you should see that proctologist for a cephalectomy.

Ok... I'm not being a smartass here; but is English not your native tongue?

I have > +450 in each eye, and I have no problem sparring kickboxing or boxing with my glasses off. It's kind of neat, in fact, as things inbound to my face come into focus as they draw near.

I'd be more worried about getting caught in a dark alley with glasses on than fighting under well lit conditions with things blurry.

AN eye doctor is called a Proctologist. You should see one at once and tell him that you have problems with your eye.

An optometrist is a small mustelid found only in the Amazon basin. It lives on a diet of fish, nuts, prepackaged sliced cheese and the feet of virginal eskimos.

You forgot chicken lips. Much more available in the Amazon than the feet of eskimo virgins.
