Fpv goggles and contact lenses

Hi all,

I have complicated eyes and wear contact lenses. I would like to try fpv but wonder if the googles would cause problems. I have already tried a screen on my Tx but you get so much glare (even with a screen hood) that I found it a disappointing experience. Then I tried wearing someone's F/S goggles and I really liked the immersiveness of it but it did feel a bit like my lenses might pop out because of the physical pressure of the goggles near my eyes.

It may well be just that I am not used to it and so was over-reacting but I an interested in the experience of others and whether there are any tricks to make it feel better.
I know you can get corrective lenses for the goggles, but I cannot be removing my contacts.

Thanks for you thoughts
