Sport Contacts?

Nike, along with Bausch & Lomb Inc., has decided to start producing outdoor sport contacts. The different tints will block specific wavelengths. This will help to reduce glare, enhance contrast, and improve clarity for the different sports. They should help make objects "pop out."

Playing different types of sports I can see how these might help. Instead of wearing sunglasses, your can wear basically weightless contacts that will do the same, possibly even better. Another source said that the darker grey tint will be for football, reducing glare when looking for the ball on sunny days. The amber tint will be for sports such as soccer that will help the ball stand out more.

I would probably pick up a pair just to see how they work out. I wear contacts already and the Maxsight's aren't yet setup for prescriptions. Interesting concept.
