Nike MaxSight Contact Lenses

[iacas]

I'm curious whether the

Nike MaxSight stuff works as described. They seem to :

Golfer Jerry Smith was one of the first patients in Denver to be fitted for the new sports lenses. He said he wanted to be able to see the greens of the golf course more clearly when he plays. Smith said the lenses allow him to follow the ball better after he hits it. He also said that they have helped with his putting game. "You can see the breaks, the contours, and you can see which way the green's sloping, and I think it could really help the putting," Smith said. "Fifteen yards from the green, I normally couldn't see the contours, but (with the lenses) they just pop out."

I wear glasses anyway, and I haven't found any prescription sunglasses that do a very good job.

My current prescription has just expired so I set an appointment to renew it and get these contacts. I am very interested to how these will work and am really looking forward to trying them

Great! You'll be able to write something up about them for the site then.

I'll look into getting some in March.

Absolutely! I'll let everyone know when I get them in

Yes, I'm definitely interested in getting a pair. i should wear glasses when i play as I can hardly see the ball outside of an 8-iron, but have never been able to get used to the look of the ball (at address), when wearing glasses.

these nike contacts have really sparked my interest though.

I'd be interested in checking these out. I have an appointment for my yearly eye exam in January, and I'll ask my optometrist about the MaxSights.

My only concern is how they would perform in changing light conditions. If you're wearing sunglasses and it gets cloudy or dark, you can take your shades off. I don't want to be futzing around with changing my contacts during a round.

i just realized that my company will pay for yearly eyewear...i think i just might get them to foot the bill for these.

I agree. I wear contacts for normal vision and sunglasses while outside. I was very interested when I saw an advertisment for these however what happens when it gets cloudy? I tried to find info on the Nike site but I couldn't find anything about whether they can be worn indoors, or in cloudy conditions.

I think they intend you to wear them mainly for your athletic activity of choice. The grey-green "golf" lenses are intended for bright sun activities. It seems like the amber would be helpful, too, and in lower light conditions.

They are a cobranded product. There's a faq about them on the Bausch and Laum site: http://www.bausch.com/us/vision/prod...xsight_faq.jsp

I just got mine in (they were on back order for a while) so far I've played a few rounds in them and I've got mixed feelings about them.

+ The vision and color really enhances the ball and greens

+ Very nice not having sunglasses to bother with

- They are only too be used on the course. NEVER drive with them on because it blocks red tones. Which means you are changing contacts before and after your round. I've worn contacts for years so that's not a huge issue, just another step needed before and after a round.

- If it's a little overcast or you play early in the morning you may notice a little problem in low light conditions.

Full review to come later
