Night Lenses – Swimming

No Contact Lenses – No Glasses – No Laser Surgery

Perfect vision for short sighted Swimmers – without glasses, day contact lenses or laser eye surgery

“I can open my eyes underwater when I go swimming!”

This is probably one of the most common responses when people are asked, “What’s the best thing about night lenses?”

If you’re a fan of swimming or watersports, then night lenses just make perfect sense – while glasses and daytime lenses, well, they simply don’t! When you chat with night lens wearers about this (you can hear it straight from a few of them below), they often express their bewilderment at why folks who swim regularly or enjoy watersports continue to put up with the hassles and inconveniences of glasses and daytime lenses. Why not switch to night lenses, wake up, take them out, and enjoy perfect vision all day without the need for glasses or daytime lenses? Plus, revel in the freedom and convenience of swimming and watersports without anything on your face or in your eyes – even being able to open your eyes underwater!

Let’s break it down:

In the pool
Picture a world where you don’t need to purchase prescription goggles, remember them, wear them, struggle with limited vision when you take them off, deal with fogging issues, remember to bring them along, or spend ages searching for them in your house. Sure, they might do the job for some serious lane swimming during your fitness routine, but they’re not the most social option when you want to enjoy a leisurely dip with friends or play around in the pool with the kids. And if you’re a parent, having clear vision around the pool is a must. And imagine being able to open your eyes underwater and see everything clearly!

On the beach
Envision a world where you can surprise your child during sandcastle building, scoop them up in your arms, and race them giggling into the sea without fretting over losing a lens in the water, your glasses slipping off, or salt smudges ruining your day. Imagine not having to worry about sand sneaking behind your lens when the wind kicks up, or dealing with stinging eyes from suncream sweat. And if you’re wearing glasses, forget about constant adjustments due to sweat or sunscreen sliding them down your nose.

ELITE SPORTS | NIGHT LENSES vs DAY LENSES

If you compete at an elite, or high amateur level, the advantages of night lenses over day lenses are clear. Essentially you have the same lens routine – a daily insertion/removal – but having perfect sight with nothing in your eye to worry about when you train and compete can make the difference between wining and losing. Double World Champion Cat Morrison, Olympian Chris Walker-Hebborn are two of many who attribute part of their success down to night lenses and recommend all elite sports people to switch. “If you can use night lenses, as an elite performer, it doesn’t make sense to continue to use day lenses”

“In the semi-final of the European Championships my day lens folded in my eye under my goggles. A couple of times I lost one, or would race with only one eye in, which didn’t help. I have 52 seconds to prove a point. The last thing I want to panic about are my lenses. Night lenses are a game changer. I couldn’t imagine my life without them now”
Chris Walker-Hebborn, Olympic Silver and Commonwealth Gold medallist, swimmer
