Are you considering switching to contact lenses? There are a number of activities that can be far safer and more enjoyable when wearing contact lenses, as we elaborate on below:
Rock climbing
Whether you are an accomplished rock climber, or only starting out, using contact lenses has a number of advantages over glasses. The first and most obvious benefit is that you don't run the risk of your glasses falling from your head during a climb, which can be a problem for many wearers. Additionally, you also negate the risk of loose rocks or other items smashing your glasses, which may leave you with poor vision in a tricky or dangerous spot.
Mountain biking
Mountain biking is one of the more dangerous sports available, with all potential ways of reducing the chance of injury worth trying. Taking to the trails and wearing glasses is asking for trouble, as they can routinely be broken if you are unfortunate enough to have a fall.
Not only will this break your glasses, which can be costly to replace, there is also the added danger that the glasses can further damage your face on impact. Many riders also comment that contact lenses help them with better vision too, making it another good reason to try them out.
Entering a warm building
As anyone who has worn contact glasses in the winter will know, walking from the outside into a warm area will lead to your glasses steaming up. This can be an embarrassing and frustrating situation that can easily be avoided by wearing contact lenses.
Playing soccer
Soccer is one of the sports that can benefit most from players not wearing glasses, particularly when it comes to headers. With only a mistimed header between you and breaking your glasses, a switch to contact lenses can make far more sense.
Heading out on the town
Lastly, many people who switch from wearing glasses to contact lenses can feel happier and more confident in themselves. This can make going out on the town a more enjoyable activity.
Last word
For those who haven't tried contact lenses, there is no reason not to give them a shot. With even more advantages than the five listed here, it can greatly improve on a whole host of sports and activities.
