Nike Maxsights make sports activities safer for the wearer

Nike Maxsights contact lenses are soft lenses designed to provide crisp vision free of distortions. These lenses are designed for athletes who don't want to wear sunglasses and yet want some protection from the glare of the sun. They can be worn even if the person does not require contact lenses for corrective purposes. The lenses result in crisper, clearer vision in sunlight. Many people refer to them as tinted sunglass contact lenses and polarized contact lenses.

The lenses are available in two different color tints. The grey-green tint is for golfers, runners and people who participate in similar sports. The amber color is designed for people who take part in fast-paced sports like soccer, baseball and similar sports. They are designed to filter 90 percent of blue light and 95 percent of UVA and UVB.

The lenses are made of 62 percent polymacon and 38 percent water and are a one month disposable soft contact lenses. The lenses are packaged in a buffered saline solution and require the same care and maintenance as other soft contact lenses. This means they must be disinfected and cleaned to prevent infections and irritations to the eyes. Normal secretions from the eye can result in protein deposits accumulating on the contact lenses. These must be removed in order to promote comfortable wearing of the lenses. Users can select from a variety of cleaning solutions. Many users prefer a no rub cleaning solution since this minimizes handling of the contact lenses.

Users should be sure to follow the directions of the eye care provider regarding care of the lenses and longevity of use even when the lenses are for non-corrective purposes.

Nike and Bausch and Lomb entered into a partnership to produce the Nike Maxsight lenses for athletes who needed protection from the glare of the sun. The lenses can be obtained at both land-based and online outlets. There is some variation in quantity and price so the smart buyer will shop around for the best deal.
