DISCOUNT COLORED CONTACT LENSES AND SPORTS

IS IT SAFE TO WEAR discount colored contact lenses WHILE PLAYING SPORTS?

Can you wear discount colored contact lenses while playing sports? Of course! It’s actually recommended and they’re safer than eyeglasses since the lenses in glasses can break causing injury to yourself or your opponent and without having all around vision, you might miss that soccer ball coming straight for your head. In fact, glasses aren’t allowed in some sports like boxing, rugby or football. Also, movement will jar your glasses and not only will your vision suffer, but you’ll spend time pushing them up your nose. If they fall off and break or you sustain a blow to the face, they’re expensive to replace. Contacts, on the other hand, especially soft ones, are less likely to fall out, don’t require adjustment and if they do happen to dislodge, it’s a whole lot cheaper to get new ones. Head gear, face masks, helmets and protective eyewear don’t always fit over glasses so cheap colored contact lenses will be your only real choice.
