A Sport Tinted Contact Lens Could Be A Major Hit With Professional and Amateur Athletes
Whether you’re a professional athlete, or a spirited player of many outdoor activities, a sport tinted contact lens will finally give you that competitive edge you have been looking for in protective eyewear!
Bausch & Lomb and Nike have combined forces to introduce a sport-tinted contact lens called MAXSIGHT™, and this evolutionary soft contact lens product offers two glare-resisting tints available in prescription, and non-prescription lenses. Their purpose is to help improve the athlete’s and recreational wearer's vision performance in bright distracting lights, and allow them to focus more on their game or activity that requires a clear field of vision.
Whether you’re playing rugby, baseball, golf, or even outdoor basketball, there are times when wearing sunglasses become an inconvenience. I’m sure you would agree with me that as the game gets physical, you will always have in the back of your mind that your sunglass frames may go flying off at any moment, fog up, or at the least cause blind spots in your overall peripheral vision. Factor in hot sunny humid days, and the sweat causing your eyewear to slip, not only becomes annoying, but also a disruption to your overall performance!
How Do These Tinted Vision Lenses Work, You Ask?
There is a patented Light Architecture concept that filters certain wavelengths of light, which allows them to visually enhance key elements in the sport activity you’re playing. Whether it is a baseball, or a golf ball, the lenses filter out blue light, and help improve critical details in your sporting environment by manipulating the remaining colors to offer a clear visual range. This is very important when the glare of the sun needs to be reduced for you to properly keep focused during fast paced activity.
Depending on what type of sports you participate in, there are two types of tints that benefit certain sport needs. If you were involved in soccer or tennis for example, where there are fast moving balls in variable light conditions, you would benefit from an amber lens. For people golfing, running, or playing football, the grey-green lens is best for you to prevent the sun's glare, and provide more visual comfort.
Now don’t get these optical performance lenses mixed up with other tinted lens products! The major difference between Nike's tinted lenses is that they cover the entire surface of the contact lens, and in addition
the tints are specially formulated to block certain wavelengths of light. Unlike many other soft contacts on the market today, they’re normally a cosmetic tint only, and don’t have maximum eye protection from the elements. To date, this lens is the only commercially available sport-tinted contact lens on the market!
You Need A Vision Prescription For Nike's Tinted Lenses!
If you’re truly serious about improving your vision during your desired sporting activity, then you must contact an eye care professional and get fitted for these lenses! They are available for people that require vision correction, and as well for people who do not need vision correction. Once you purchase your pair, they will be the exact same as daily wear lenses, which will need to be replaced monthly. Of course this can vary depending on how often you wear them, and what your eye doctor recommends in regards to the duration you can wear them.
I’m sure at this time you’re wondering when and where you can get your hands on a pair of these lenses. These tinted lenses have recently been cleared by the FDA on April 26, 2005 and are available to you by many of the large online and retail eye care professionals later this summer. The best way to find out more information is to go directly to Bausch & Lomb’s website at: www.bausch.com/ , however, I’m certain you will know when they're out, by the mass advertising campaigns taking place.
Your vision is a critical element in any sport you participate in, and with technology taking sport lenses to the next level, I’m sure most athletes will welcome this new addition. Keep one thing in mind as you research this product, is that even though they protect you from UVA and UVB at a certain level, they are not a complete substitute for sunglasses. You will find out that these lenses only cover part of your eye, and do not protect your entire eye tissue. This is important information to know before you purchase these tinted lenses.
