Sports vision doctors agree that contact lenses are the best vision correction option for athletes. They can enhance visual skills like depth perception, peripheral awareness, and eye-hand/eye-foot coordination.

Unlike glasses, contacts offer athletes a competitive advantage because they stay in place under dynamic conditions, provide a wider vision field, and eliminate the risk of glasses-related injuries. Contact lenses also make it easy to wear protective goggles

Contact lenses are available for just about any prescription. They can correct your astigmatism, and multifocal contacts can help those with presbyopia to have sharp near, intermediate, and distance vision.

Numerous studies have found that children as young as eight years of age can adapt to, handle and care for contacts. Maturity, personal hygiene and motivation on the part of the young person are important factors to consider when assessing suitability for contact lens wear.

It is recommended not to wear contacts while in a shower, bathtub or hot tub. Acanthamoeba and certain forms of bacteria present in water can become attached to contact lenses, resulting in potential infection.

If contacts are being worn while showering, in a bathtub or hot tub, care should be taken to avoid water being splashed into the eyes. It is recommended to keep the eyes firmly closed while showering. If lenses are accidentally exposed to water, instill a lubricating drop to help loosen the lens on the eye then remove the lens with clean, dry hands. Next, clean and disinfect the lens before re-inserting, or discard the lens.

Never sleep in a lens that has been exposed to water without first cleaning and disinfecting it.

This is a common and natural concern. It helps to first get used to touching your eyes without applying a lens. One very successful technique is to place a warm (not hot) drop of water on your clean index finger and bring it up to the eye and actually touch your eye. The water has a numbing effect such that you may not even feel your finger against your eye.
