The brand new sports performance enhancing contact
lens has finally become available to amateur
athletes. But where exactly does one go to buy the
nike maxsight? Because they are contact lenses,
you will not find them at the local sporting goods
store or favorite team shop.
All contact lenses are considered medical devices
and need to be fit by a licensed professional. So
if you are interested in trying out the Nike
Maxsight lenses, simply contact your local eye
care provider.
As of today, the lenses come in spherical powers
ranging from +4.00 to -9.00 including plano. Plano
is simply a lens with no vision correction. They
come in one base curve, 8.7, and a diameter of
14.3. Your eye care professional will be able to
decide if the lens is healthy for your eyes.
Nike and Bausch and Lomb have teamed up to create
two varieties of the Maxsight, an amber tint and a
green/grey tint.
The amber tint is designed for sports with a
moving ball, such as baseball, softball, and
soccer. The entire lens is amber in color and does
show on the eye when worn. Most people find the
color gives them a competitive look. Plus, if your
team colors are orange or red, your eyes will
match your uniform. Baseball players have reported
increased ability in tracking the spin on a pitch
and tracking any moving ball. Soccer players claim
the ball essentially pops out from the grass
background.
The green/grey tint is designed for individual
sports such as running and golf. The main purpose
is to reduce glare and increase contrast. This
means less squinting and more focus. These lenses
also show on the eye and basically give the
appearance of large, dark, corneas. Runners can
enjoy the eyes ability to relax, as opposed to
squinting, which reduces fatigue and strain.
Golfers find the ball easier to track when
swinging the club and easier to follow once hit.
The end result is fantastic vision, UV protection,
and an enhanced sporting experience, not to
mention one mean looking set of eyes.
