chp5 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I found this article on the net about baseball players wearing vision enhancing contacts. Looks interesting. If you have to wear them anyway (like I do), then why not . . . MaxSight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AikiDale Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I'll be happy to give them a shot, uh, so to speak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 They look interesting - but since I have to wear eye protection, anyhow, I might as well load the tint there. Seems like it might be more flexible, that way (I can easily swap tints, rather than having to have 3 or 4 pairs of contacts that I'd have to switch out on the range, and that wear out in 3 months or less...). Now, if they could polarize 'em and offer 'em in an iridium tint.... The *best* eye performance enhancing contacts I ever found were RGPs... but they're not the most comfortable things in the world. Made the difference between seeing 9mm bullet holes in targets at 50 yards, and not seeing them, though - I had 20/15 w/ those suckers in. I stopped wearing them when I stopped shooting for 5 or so years, there... Back to the disposables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasag93 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I would give them a try. I asked my eye doctor about polarized or photo grey contact lens. He said not in the near future. The chemical process is not suitable to put directly on your eye. They will show up eventually. TXAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chp5 Posted May 3, 2005 Author Share Posted May 3, 2005 They look interesting - but since I have to wear eye protection, anyhow, I might as well load the tint there. Seems like it might be more flexible, that way (I can easily swap tints, rather than having to have 3 or 4 pairs of contacts that I'd have to switch out on the range <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The article seems to state or imply that having the tint directly on the eye increases the performance as compared to glasses. Whether that's true or not remains to be seen . . . . It would also filter sunlight that came over the top of your glases (assuming you don't wear a hat for that purpose).

BritinUSA Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 It's not just the cornea that is susceptible to ultra-violet radiation. I would not use contacts as a replacement for sunglasses. Living in Colorado the UV rate is about 53% higher than at sea-level (UV increases at 10% per 1000 feet) so I wear sunglasses even when it's cloudy. But then I'm more used to sea-level; I lived in Portsmouth and Southampton for 32 years, right near the big blue wet thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockclimbg Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I stumbled across this and was thinking that it might have some benefits to shooting games. Here is the link: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/3559064?GT1=6444 P.S. Sorry if this is the wrong forum, wasn't sure were it would fit.
