How I switched to daily contact lenses
Finding out I have myopia
Discovering contact lenses
- First of all, a better peripheral vision: As lenses sit directly on each eye, they cover every single angle; I can see the whole court and follow the ball's trajectory when I play tennis, so I never miss a hit (that is to say, rarely. I mean, let's admit it, lenses are not magical and they will not make you a champion or a superhero, but they will definitely improve your game).
- Increased safety: On a tennis court, glasses could actually prove dangerous and possibly cause an eye injury if a ball hits the glass. Contact lenses don't present the same risk.
- Compatible with sports gear: Contact lenses go with everything, so no need to think of what to wear them with.
- Additional UV protection: Well, while I have a passion for outside sports, I don't like the idea of my eyes being exposed to harmful sun rays. With many lenses featuring in-built UV blocking,they really are a complete no-brainer! And they can easily be combined with sunglasses.
