Sports contacts?

Question

im gonna be playing football this year and i wear contacts and glasses. i heard about contacts that are specifically made to see the colors of certin things "pop". The ones i saw were from nike, but are there any other brands? How much do they cost and is it worth buying them?

Answer 1

I think that the only ones approved by the FDA right now are by Nike and Bauch and Lomb. You would need the amber one for football and they do take an RX from a doctor even if you have no correction. They can be anywhere from $50 a box to $75 depending on where you are. I would not try to get these without a Dr. fitting you though and getting some trial time with samples first in case they do not work well for you.  Call your Doctor and ask how much the Eye health exam and the Contact lense evaluation is and how much the lenses are through them. That is your best bet.
