Nike MAXSIGHT Sports Contact Lenses
Expected to Score Big with Athletes
Nike MAXSIGHT soft contact lenses were designed to help athletes reduce glare, enhance contrast and reduce exposure to UVA and UVB radiation. The good news is you don't have to wear prescription contacts to take advantage of the new technology, since non-corrective lenses are also available.
Wearing rose-colored glasses isn't such a bad idea anymore. In fact, it's recommended. Two tints will be available all over the U.S. by the end of summer. The grey-green tint is designed for golfers, runners and those in training because the tint is most effective during activities that expose athletes to bright sunlight. You'll want to select this lens to increase object details and contour recognition.
The amber tint is especially made for soccer, tennis, baseball and football or rugby because the golden shade actually filters specific wavelengths to dramatically sharpen the ball. You'll also want to select this lens if you're expecting cloudy or variable light conditions.
The science involved can be tricky to understand, but you can go ahead and blame blue light the next time you flub up on the field. On the naked eye, blue light can cause blurring and reduce contrast. Nike MAXSIGHT lenses work by filtering light to reduce blurring by up to 50%.
You're probably wondering why your regular tinted lenses don't work the same way, and part of the reason is contacts worn to enhance or change the color of you eyes only cover the iris. Nike MAXSIGHT tints don't just cover the iris; the tint covers the entire lens. Additionally, cosmetic tints are purposely designed to not affect your vision.
Nike MAXSIGHT received FDA clearance on 04/26/05 and the daily wear lenses are available from +4.00 to -9.00D. MSRP is $60 for six 30-day lenses (3 pairs) which translates into $20 a month or $240 a year. While they are safe for children, they aren't safe for anyone to wear during normal activities. That means you'll have to remember to change your lenses every time you change out of your athletic shoes or you might risk running a few red lights.

Post a CommentNike their products are famous.so keep some more details.
With all the hundreds of different lenses out there, why were these Nike lenses discontinued? Is there a problem with them? Was there a soft recall?
Does anyone know if they are still available?
I use them for golf but my rx has changed and I need to know where to get new ones...if anyone know,lease email me at JSD1946@aol.com....thanks
I been wearing them since they came out and love them. I work outside all year round in Pa and really wish they would start making them again. I have 4 pair left and need to make them last as long as I can......
My son has used these for tennis and they were the best invention ever! However, our optometrist can't get them anymore. Does anyone know if they are still available?
do they still sell these? and they should make some for inside sports
I think this product is an excellent idea! Although what about the athletes that have an astigmatism??? I think this product would sale much better if they made them for people that hava astigmatisms.
I use these in soccer all the time....since m a goalie i cant afford to have the sun in my eyes these contacts work wonders they also make it easier for me to follow the ball.....its sucks that im gonna have to make my pair last like 2 more years sinc tey were discontinued
how much are these
I use the Maxsights, and while it makes my eyes look creepy and it makes colors a lot different, it really works. The lenses are basically sunglasses on your eyes, and they make the ball(I play softball) a different and even more vibrant color. They're strange for the athlete to get used to (and everyone looking at your eyes), but after a few days it feels and seems fine. The first time I used them in a game, I saw the ball better, and they improved my hitting just by making the ball look more 3D. Another plus is that they last for a month, and also last longer than that if not worn constantly. I would reccomend this to anyone in a competitive sport, especially high school sports, and want an extra boost to their game.
