Anyone who has worn glasses whilst playing sport can speak of the restrictions they cause. Glasses tend to limit wearers, with the potential to break, fall-off, steam-up or even lead to eye damage if a collision is caused.

Swapping glasses for contact lenses offers freedom of movement and clarity of vision. Contact lenses can really enhance a young person's experience of sport and exercise, which will promote a healthier, more active lifestyle. Of course contact lenses are not suitable for everyone, for some people glasses are a fantastic solution to eye conditions. Only a registered optician can determine whether contact lenses are suitable for your child's eyes.

Katarina says her lenses improve her peripheral vision, which has been a key factor in her sporting success: "It's a huge difference, I'm able to see from all angles and don't have any blind spots". She goes on to say that contact lenses make her vision clearer, "When I'm competing, especially in the hurdles, they tend to blur together, so for me being able to see the hurdles individually with contact lenses is so important". Katarina credits her successes in professional sport to her contact lenses. "With contact lenses, you just feel so much more comfortable".
