I’d just thought I’d give a little update on these lenses.
While I appreciate that the technology of ‘contrast enhancement’ will be of benefit to some people, I can’t help but think that if they were to provide a distinct advantage that more people at the top of their sports would be wearing them.
For instance, why does Tiger Woods not wear them? or Roger Federer?
As far as lens technology goes, Nike Maxsight would be suitable for 8 hours wear. This means that existing contact lens wearers would often be having to remove their own lenses and insert these for the duration of their sport.. and vice/versa afterwards. Even if they were suitable for longer, would you want a red/grey lens in your eyes all day?
Perhaps, this inconvenience is why they haven’t been more successful.
I feel there may be more from this technology in the future but these lenses are perhaps not the answer.
If anyone has had experience with these lenses, feel free to leave a comment.
