Sports wear for eyes
Glasses are great at home and in the office, but when it comes to sports do you suffer from them steaming up and slipping down your nose at a vital moment? Why restrict your performance and miss out on all the fun? You would not play tennis with a badminton racket or wear golfing clothes to the gym so why should eyewear be different. Cycling is one activity where glasses can be the practical option. A fly in the eye on a cycle ride isn't terribly pleasant so glasses can be ideal. But what if its sunny? Don't fancy a pair of flip up shades over your glasses or photochromatic lenses can leave you in the dark? Why compromise? Pop in some daily disposables contact lenses and wear your favorite sunglasses and enjoy clear vision.
The problem is we either perceive ourselves as a glasses wearer or a contact lens wearer. Why restrict yourself when glasses and contact lenses make a great team! Choose the type of eyewear most suitable for the occasion. Choosing contact lenses for sport isn't just more convenient, its safer and can improve your peripheral awareness and thus your performance. Look good, have fun and win the ultimate high!!
Fear of the unknown
If you have considered wearing contact lenses for sport, what has put you off? Like many people you probably don't fancy putting something in your eye or cleaning and storing the lenses. But things have changed! Just like cumbersome wooden tennis rackets have been replaced by lightweight graphites, hard uncomfortable contact lenses have been replaced by ultra thin soft lenses. There is also a great range of disposables on the market so you wont need any bulky extras. Whats more when you visit Realeyes to get a prescription for contacts you`ll be shown how to insert and remove the lenses and given ample opportunity to try them out until you feel completely confident. If you are over 45 and wear bifocals, progressive contact lenses contain no lines and segmented vision zones. Instead they provide seamless vision at all distances and allow your eyes to focus naturally. You wont suffer from vision jumps and they will improve your peripheral vision.
Choosing the right lenses
Contact lenses are ideal for both long and shortsighted vision correction. They are instantly comfortable. If it weren't for the fact that they improve your vision, you wouldn't know you were wearing them. There are even contact lenses for astigmatism. If you have been told you can`t have contact lenses because you have astigmatism, now is the time to ask again.
These days most contact lenses are disposable so when you have finished exercising you can put them away and reach for your glasses.
