Contact lenses in amateur boxing

I've have used contacts while boxing since I started.
In sparring matches I normally only lose one, either from getting hit or just when I make a maneuver and quickly look in a certain direction they pop out.
During actual sanctioned fights I usually lose both by the end of it, but I can see a few feet in front of me even without them on so it never really affected my boxing, although if I could I rather have them in.
I am getting the corrective surgery though, probably next year.

Officially though, soft contacts are aloud.

 

How is the safetiness of corrective eye surgery in terms of boxing? That is, a punch landing on your eye (increased pressure), any long term structurable vulnerabilities post surgery?

 

i wear daily contacts when sparring and they do fly out quite a bit, not even from hard hits, just any light flick near the eye. I think it's because daily contacts are thinner, not as good quality as longer wear contacts

 

That is a good question and honestly I don't know the answer. That will be something I'll have to ask my doctor next time I see him.

 

What sort of contacts do you use? I have the yearly ones. Maybe they don't pop out as much? I've never sparred, so I don't know, but it seems like it would be pretty hard to knock them out considering I need to pull them outwards with two fingers to remove them.

 

I use soft contacts, but I have daily contacts so when I lose them it's not a big deal. And trust me contacts come out easier than you think, when your sparing or training your contacts dry up really easy, making them easier to pop out.
