contacts
Today more than ever, contact lenses are the choice for vision correction for a growing number of people around the world. Innovations in contact lens technology mean that contact lenses can now correct astigmatism, replace bifocal glasses and enhance or even change eye color. Advances in product formulations have made lens care quicker and simpler than before, and with the newest generation of single use contact lenses, there's even less cleaning and handling.
Many individuals prefer to wear contact lenses for special occasions, such as evenings out, job interviews, during sporting events or on weekends whenever they want to look and feel their best. If you wear glasses, see the difference contact lenses can make.
Whatever your sport - aerobics, basketball, football, running, biking, tennis or softball - with outstanding fit and comfort, contact lenses are ready for action. Made of special materials that fit better, contact lenses remain in place under almost all conditions - allowing you to concentrate on the game and keep your competitive edge. Athletes (and weekend warriors) of all kinds have discovered that contact lens do not fog up from perspiration, do not smudge and do not steam up when going from the heat of the playing field to the locker room. Contact lenses even go well with water sports. Swimmers, surfers, sailors and other water athletes no longer have to worry about wiping off their glasses when splashed with water or risk losing or breaking their glasses.
