Can you wear contacts/ glasses

[u/EggJolly5453]

Is

[u/Huge-Conversation382]

I wear both, contacts during the day, glasses at night.

[u/redtier]

Yes a lot of people do. If you wear glasses you’ll just have to get a special insert for your scba mask since the sides of glasses could impact the seal around your face

[u/Rhino676971 → u/redtier]

Do the inserts look like the ones that are in military gas masks

[u/Even-Essay8561]

I wear contacts every shift I work

[u/Healthy_Number9684]

Yes. I’ve got special day/ night contacts that can be worn for up to 7 days at a time. My engineer wears glasses and has a special set built into his mask for if/ when he has to mask up.

[u/ResponsibleBrain2446]

Yep. My dad and brother wear glasses and both worked (work) for cal fire

[u/Alleskaese7392]

Yep in germany you can do that

[u/National_Conflict609]

Yes

[u/oldlaxer]

I did. I just took them off to mask up. I finally got LASIK, best money I spent in the fire service!

[u/mace1343]

Yes. Sometimes you wake up and your contacts are fine. Sometimes you wake up and you’re driving the engine blinking a thousand times trying to get to where you can see. It’s like a reward

[u/Unlucky_Entry6369]

I wear glasses pretty much exclusively. Scott makes an insert that fits inside the mask. You get the insert and take it to the eye doctor to get the lenses cut and put in. They hold nicely and don’t move. But, I also carry and nice hard sided glasses case in the pocket of my bunker pants. If you’re wearing glasses and decide to go that route make sure you have a secure place to put your regular glasses when you put your mask on.
