Contact lenses are preferred by sportsmen for many reasons including sharper image, increased peripheral vision and elimination of spectacle movement and fogging.
Visual quality will improve athletes capacities, dexterity and performances. Full spatial perception is increased by wearing contact lenses, with better anticipation, decreasing reaction time and more precise behaviour.

Hyper-transmissibility of the lens is particularly important for athletes who consume more oxygen during extreme sports efforts. Menicon PremiO contact lenses bring more oxygen across the lens due to the silicone hydrogel material and also dehydrate less than hydrogel contact lenses.
