Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best contact lenses for sports?
The best contact lenses for sports depend on your specific needs, type of sport, and level of activity. Soft contact lenses are popular for their comfort and ease of use, while gas permeable (GP) lenses offer sharper vision, especially for those with astigmatism. Hybrid lenses combine the benefits of both, providing the crisp vision of GP lenses with the comfort of soft lenses. Custom-tinted lenses are also available to reduce glare and improve contrast in outdoor sports.
How do contact lenses improve athletic performance compared to eyeglasses?
Contact lenses provide a wider, unobstructed field of view, unlike eyeglasses that can restrict peripheral vision with their frames. Contacts also don’t fog up, slip down, or get splattered with rain, allowing for a clearer and more stable vision during play. They are also compatible with helmets, goggles, and other protective gear, making them a preferred choice for athletes in high-impact or fast-paced sports.
Are there any options for athletes who have trouble wearing contact lenses?
Yes, athletes who struggle with contact lenses can consider orthokeratology (ortho-k), which involves wearing specially designed contact lenses overnight to reshape the cornea, providing clear vision during the day without needing glasses or contacts. This option is particularly beneficial for those who are not suitable candidates for LASIK or other vision correction surgeries.
Can sports contact lenses help with dry eyes?
Yes, some contact lenses are specifically designed to minimize dry eyes, such as gas permeable (GP) lenses, which do not absorb tears like soft lenses do. Daily disposable lenses can also be a great option, as they are fresh each day and reduce the build-up of irritants. For athletes in dry or windy environments, combining contact lenses with eye drops or taking omega-3 supplements can further help manage dry eye symptoms.
Do I need a special fitting for sports contact lenses?
Yes, a specialized fitting is essential to ensure optimal comfort, performance, and safety, especially for athletes. Sports contact lenses are customized based on your eye shape, vision needs, and the specific demands of your sport. A fitting with an eye care professional will ensure that the lenses sit correctly, provide the best visual clarity, and stay securely in place during your activities.
