Performance contact lenses from Nike/Bausch & Lomb

New contacts being testing in MLB

Seems pretty cool. I'd be interested in the enhanced night-vision version (for driving) and the gray-green ones for my golf game. :thumbsup:

Nike will be the first company to produce the Bionic Man.

I've always had better night vision in contacts than glasses. I'm not gonna pay extra for "Monster Brand" Contact Lenses.

That's pretty cool.

Doing a polarized one would be interesting...but you'd have to worry about it being put in correctly and then turning on you once it's on your eye.

Wonder if they can produce them so that they actually enhance vision beyond normal ranges. Like actually giving your eyes "zoom" power for a lack of better terms.

Really? I've found that the glare from headlights and street lamps are worse with contacts than with glasses.

They can do this right now I think. I have toric lenses and they must be rotated correctly, otherwise it's all blurry for me. I think they're weighted slightly or something.

Enhanced night-vision would be a huge plus - right now I don't like to drive at night with my contacts if I've been wearing them all day and it's raining, the glare is pretty bad. Of course, because I require toric lenses, most of these advances are slow to filter down to the toric lense market.

Maybe my glasses are just dirty I dunno, I've always had awesome night vision, even without correction.
