WILLS EYE NOW OFFERS SPORT-TINTED CONTACT LENSES

In keeping with our tradition, "excellence in eye care", Wills Eye is one of the first to announce a new type of tinted contact lens as a result of a partnership between Nike and Bausch & Lomb. Nike MAXSIGHT™ is an innovative, fully tinted soft contact lens designed to aid visual performance in athletic settings.

Physicians at Wills Eye can fit you with these tinted-soft contact lenses in two glare-reducing tints so the athlete gets crisp, clear vision without anything getting in their way. Whether it’s on the field, the track, the green or the court, athletes want comfort, less glare, enhanced contrast, reduced exposure to UVA and UVB radiation and options for all sports, including tennis and soccer.

• The Amber tint is designed for use in sports where tracking a fast moving ball is critical as in soccer, tennis, baseball and football.
• The Grey-Green tint is designed for use in sports played in bright sunlight where visual comfort and glare are concerns while golfing and running.

For more information and to set up an appointment you can call Wills Eye Contact Lens Service at (215) 928-3450, or go to our web site at www.willseye.org.
