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.
