You jump, run, twist, and dive. You’re an athlete. As an athlete, your performance is everything so why not do everything you can to improve it? If you are still competing in glasses, than it is time to consider the benefits of sports contact lenses.
Whether you’re a professional or just an enthusiast, sports is a part of your life. That’s where contact lenses come in. They can provide better vision, a less obstructed peripheral, and can keep your eyes clear of debris. Don’t worry about broken frames, slipping glasses, fogged vision when contact lens can erase all of those obstructions during your physical activity.
In most sports, solid hand-eye coordination is imperative. Without it, it could mean the difference between a champion and a runner up. With all of the advances in eye care, there’s no reason for any athlete to perform in eyeglasses anymore.
Here are a few benefits to sports contact lenses:
•Wider peripheral
•Greater stability
•No fogged up lenses
•Less susceptible to dirt
•Protect against UV rays in bright sunlight
•No risk of lens damage
•Disposable
•Better depth perception
•Fewer distortions and reflections
There are a few factors that go into trying to decide which sports contact lens is right for you. For instance, the length of time it takes to play, the environment in which it’s played, and the physical demands of the sport. Also, keep in mind that contacts should never be worn for swimming or water sports without the proper use of goggles.
