Nightlenses changed my life – Jason Brown, Soccer Player
In this chat with nightlenses.com, we catch up with Jason to talk about how night lenses have made a big impact on his life and why he recommends them to anyone in professional sports.
I’m part of a squad up in northeast Aberdeen, currently doing our thing in Division 1 of the Scottish league, known as Peterhead F.C.
What’s your role on the field?
I’m a defender. Not the fancy type, though. I’m the one willing to put my noggin where it stings. Someone’s gotta do the tough stuff, right?
So, how long have you been using night lenses?
I started using them at the start of this year. I had my doubts at first, but once I gave them a go, there was no looking back.
You were using day lenses before. Did you ever have issues with a lens falling out during a game?
Yeah, a few times. The most recent one was towards the end of last season. The lens popped out, and I had to be subbed off because I couldn’t pop it back in. After that, I seriously started thinking about night lenses as a better fit for my active lifestyle.
Confession time – have you ever sneakily shoved your day lens back in during a match?
Gotta admit, I’ve done it a couple of times. But don’t let my optician know!
It’s a risk of infection, but in the heat of the game, that’s not your first concern, right?
Exactly, you’re more focused on the match than hygiene. Not ideal, but sometimes you’ve got to make do with what you’ve got.
Now that you’re using night lenses, how much of a difference have they made on the field?
They’ve given me one less thing to stress about during a match. Before, I’d always be wondering about my lenses – how they’re feeling, if they’re in the right spot. Now, with night lenses, I’m free from all that. It’s an unreal feeling, and it’s made a massive impact.
Did issues with day lenses ever distract you from the game?
For sure. There were many times when a lens moved, and I’d try to sort it during play, only to make it worse. It definitely affected my focus during intense matches.
Considering the rainy Scottish weather and the heading involved in soccer, having nothing in your eyes must be a relief with night lenses, right?
Absolutely, can’t blame my lenses anymore! But seriously, it’s a bonus. With the ball in the air and the physical play, having clear vision without lens worries is a big advantage.
Why would you recommend night lenses to other soccer players?
It’s a no-brainer! People don’t believe you can see clearly with nothing in your eyes until you tell them. I can’t speak highly enough of them. Life without lens worries is amazing. It’s an unreal feeling I think more people should experience. Night lenses have been a game-changer for me, and they can be for others too. Just give it a go!
How’s the upcoming season looking for you?
It’s going to be challenging. We’re not a full-time team, and the league is tough. We train 3 to 4 times a week, but we’re up against some part-time teams too. Preseason’s tough, but as we get into real games, things are looking up. Still early days though.
Is the team coming together well during training?
Yeah, the team’s gelling nicely. Preseason isn’t always a jol, but we’re starting to get into the groove. Looking forward to the real action, and I’m enjoying the journey!
