Sport Vision
What is sports vision?
To be competitive on the playing field you need peak performance from your entire body-- and your eyes are no exception. Sports vision is "fullscope" primary eye care that can help you optimize these three key visual skills:
Contrast Sensitivity lets you see fine details from a distance-- like the subtle contours of a golf course
Dynamic Visual Acuity keeps your vision as clear when you're running as when you're standing, so you can see every obstacle
Focus Flexibility keeps a ball in sharp focus as it moves toward or away from you
What does it mean to me?
Every sport has unique demands: depth perception, peripheral vision, eye-hand coordination. And every sport poses unique challenges: glare, wind, haze, and close encounters with moving objects. To win, you need to conquer them all. Discover which visual skills are especially critical for your sport. And why.
Contact lenses help?
Contact lenses are an athlete's dream. Contact lenses can increase peripheral vision. You can easily wear appropriate protective eyewear over them-- such as goggles or sunglasses. And you can quit worrying about broken frames or lenses. Plus, contact lenses don't fog up, slide down, or fall off. That adds up to better vision when you need it most.
What kind of lenses should I try?
Most athletes say that disposable contact lenses are the way to go. You can replace them daily, bi-weekly, or monthly whichever schedule works for you. More comfortable. Less maintenance. The bottom line: You see better.
Another alternative?
Bausch & Lomb Vision Shaping Treatment (VST) is another alternative to contact lenses. This innovative shaping lens gently corrects your vision while you sleep leaving you contact free all day long. VST provides crisp, clear vision so you can perform your best.
