I wore contacts all the time from age 15 to 26. I noticed they got dry later in the day, but I think that's normal. Not sure if it's related to salt. I had lasik surgery when I was 26 - THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE! Love my eyesight now! Hasn't changed in 5 years.

Do you wear glasses for distance, reading or other? Yes, distance.

Do you wear them all the time if for distance or other? No, just for driving, meetings, etc.

How old were you when you first got them? About 10.

Has your vision worsened since first getting glasses? Yes but only slightly. I'm still only -1.25 and -1.75.

Do you have CFRD? If so did you at the time of first needing glasses? No.

Does anyone in your family wear glasses (CF or not, but specify anyway) and if so since what age and for reading, distance etc? My mum and dad both wear glasses for both distance and reading. My mum had glasses from when she was a young child, and they got so bad that she had surgery to correct them.

Has anyone been told they have enlarged optic nerves? If so has anything other then checkups been required? No.

Has anyone dealt with Glaucoma? No, but I have a tiny cataract which hasn't gotten any bigger since I was 10.

Has anyone tried contacts? If so, do you find a problem do to the extra salt we deal with?? I've tried them and can't use them. I'm fine with putting things in my eye, but they make me want to scratch my eyes out within the hour <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> I was wondering about salt too... hrmm.
