Robbie, just wonder if the irritation is so bad that you can't pop the contacts in just for the game and get by wearing them until afterwards then switch back to your glasses?? I'm in the same boat in a way. On nights I have a game, like today, I will wear my glasses during work to lessen the hours the contacts are in. That way my eyes feel more "fresh" during the game, especially at the end. I'm sure your eye doctor has also suggested any means of controlling the irritation, including saline drops, etc or even taking fish oil supplements (yes it works) to help produce your natural tearing that sometimes leaves us at "our" age. Another thing that bothers me is some of the lighting in gyms that were built about 10 years ago, using some type of florescent bulbs that actually make the court seem dingy...hate those gyms. A few newer ones around here have excellent metal halide fixtures that really brighten up the place and make vision so much better. Good luck, hope you can stick with it no matter what you do.
