Gone are the days of having to work out with one hand keeping your glasses in place. Fogged up glasses and loss of vision due to poor fitting glasses are nightmares from the past. The advent of the contact lenses has meant that those who don't have 20/20 vision can, now enjoy vigorous activities such as squash, football, and soccer, to mention just a few, as well as extreme sports.
Caring for your contact lenses can vary somewhat depending upon whether you have soft, hard, or disposable lenses. Those who work out and play sports on a frequent basis may prefer disposable contact lenses. Disposable contact lenses require less care and are hugely convenient as they are designed for one-off use.
Depending on the type of contact lenses being worn, you may or may not have to remove them before swimming. Some experts say that contacts can remain in when swimming as long as you wear proper fitting goggles, and others say you shouldn't.
One rule of thought is that hard contacts can float out of your eye, and soft lenses can absorb the chlorine. We recommend checking with your own eye specialist for specific swimming instructions for you and your particular lenses.
Contact lenses are also much safer when working out and playing sports, as you are able to wear goggles and protective glasses when you need to. Bike riders can fit their helmets on without having to worry about their frames. There are lenses on the market now designed specifically for sports, that provide clearer perception and depth acuity, better contrast, and much less distortion.

Contact Lens Care

Depending on the sport you play there maybe blood and definitely sweat. However, following some simple guidelines should ensure that you can work out without any more tears. Regardless of the type of contacts you wear some rules remain the same:
* always wash your hands before putting in or removing lenses.
* never ever spit on your contacts for moisture or lubrication. Your mouth is literally full of germs.
* aim for a clean work surface when cleaning, applying, or removing your contacts. If the bathroom at your gym is not sparkling, then take your own personal face cloth to put on the counter before you lay your stuff out.
* for those not using disposables, a travel bag containing all your lens essentials is going to be a great idea. This way you will never be caught short without wetting solutions or cleaning products.
* keep an eye on the expiry dates of those lens products in your workout bag. Once they hit their expiry you need to replace them, as at this point bacterial contamination can become a huge issue.

Conclusion.

There are many styles of contact lenses on the market, with many recommending disposable contacts as possibly the perfect lens for those looking for the ultimate in eye wear convenience. Keeping your eye on the ball is easy when you are wearing contact lenses.
