Benefits for Ogi
X-Alps race often forces me to move over in the mountains during night time. Not being able to see the landscape made me feel dangerous in the previous races, but PremiO brings some relief and reduces psychological feeling of fatigue.
- Comparison with your previous lenses …
in term of comfort improvement? better vision ? longer period of wear ?
- By comparison with One day ACUVUE by Johnson&Johnson used in the past, PremiO has better comfort, sometimes makes me feel having no contact lenses on my eyes, and offers less dry feeling after long day use. What I feel most is it provides me with the exceptionally accurate vision. I can clearly see and recognise distant objects.
- Do you sleep with your PremiO contact lenses ?
Usually : max … nights …days
During the course : max …nights …days without removal ?
- I just started using PremiO, but I have been wearing it 24 hours a day for one week.
- Replacement do you replace them every 2 week or more often ?
Usually and during the race ?
- Since I am likely to forget when to replace, I change the lenses every one week.I can use PremiO lenses during the race as I do in my daily life.
- Your visual correction; how can you see with Menicon PremiO lens as compared to the other lenses you used in the past ?
- PremiO provides me with the extremely accurate vision. It helps me a lot see and feel the change of air streaming (e.g. birds, welter of grasses, cloud formation)
- Would you recommend Menicon PremiO contact lenses to high performance sport athletes ? reasons (for yes & no)…
- PremiO offers better comfort. Better comfort means it is unlikely to be taken out from my eyes by the wind. PremiO best suits for outdoor sports players (e.g. skiing, cycling).
Especially in the soaring sports, as it is important for players to recognise birds, smoke, welter of grasses etc, I can feel wearing PremiO contact lenses improved my performance up to 20%.
