Was just curious if anyone has encountered any post-dive issues when wearing 
disposable contacts on deeper dives?  I have never had a problem until a 
dive this weekend.  Not real sure if it was "eye bends" or what?

Did a mix dive to 240 (coldwater) had to use back-up mask, which of course 
had not been worn much, and it kept fogging up.  I had to flood it about 
every 2 minutes so I could see my guages, this continued through the entire 
dive.  I even took it off to rub kelp in it.  Completed deco, no problems, 
and returned to the boat.  30-40 minutes later things were wavy on the 
periphery of focus.  Removed contacts and still had wavy bits on the edge of 
focus.  That cleared up, but things got cloudy...like after you get out of a 
pool with too much chlorine.  Anyway cloudiness resolved after 3-4 hours 
after the dive.

Has anyone ever encountered this, just curious and the archives seem to be 
down.

Thanks
Karen Cleveland
