Why would someone ever believe contacts would make an athlete perform better

[@TheLitRight]

I guess they included things like being able to see the ball better when playing outside on a sunny day? Something they wouldn’t necessarily be able to replicate in a lab’s controlled environment

My dad works for the company the real reason they were made was for skiers and they would make obstacles pop out. The reason why they fell through was because the companies did not want to do business together

[@mov2733]

Thank you

[@alecwhatshisname5170]

High-level skiing in contacts without goggles is a recipe for eye-related disaster

[@brendanmeier641]

As a board certified eyecare professional,every doctor I have worked with advises against colored contact lenses.

[@misguidedghosts_]

This was sooo popular in middle school! They had these girls buying colored lenses from some shady ass corner stores. One girl I knew got a serious eye infection that almost took her sight.

[@robwhatever2605]

We who? My contacts have had UV protection for years but the idea that colors make you play better is about as dumb as those sneakers you had to pump up to “jump higher”.

[@jensenraylight8011]

everyone is skeptical about this, until they learn that wearing this will grant you the ability to shoot Laser from your eyes

[@reeceiyyancy4289]

You can get tinted contacts filter out light custom made but it's hard to see and the transition from outdoors to indoors is very drastic Johnny Depp did that for the filming of pirates of the Caribbean he didn't want to be squinting

[@dylankuipers5149]

these days you can just buy contact lenses that transition to dark during bright daylight and clear indoors. really neat and i love using them

Big brain scientists had to run a test to see if contacts make you a better athlete 💀💀can’t make this shit up. Now I’m not scientist but..

[@itsmehacked42o]

I must have been ahead of my game i had these back in middle school. 1999. Bit not just plain color mine was called "wildfire" it was like a sun patern with red and ... I cant remember the other color i want to say it was red and black but it might have been blue/green

[@spazzypotato8325]

Did you wear a leather trench coat and spiked arm bands too.

[@itsmehacked42o]

@@spazzypotato8325 no I had a friend that did.. but I never have been into "style" idk what I wear as long as it fits. I bleached and spiked my hair that's the extent of my styling had a silver bracelet once. I was a punk/metal kid but I lived in the hood. I got jumped daily for walking home white. There was no way in hell I would wear shit like that they would have killed me. And I thought those kind of styles were dumb. I liked the grunge look better.

Wow what a big surprise.. sad no one ever.

If it's just really coving the iris, it won't do anything because all vission is through the puple. The iris is just sort of like tiny muscles that pull the puple to widen it in the dark.

[@jamesjohno1180]

I never knew this but looking back rey mysterio wore coloured contacts was he duped too!!! He looked cool as shit I wanted to be him as a kid😂 I think nowadays you can get contacts that do sort of work as sunglasses, they help your eyes with light so you’re not squinting as much I don’t know how well they work but I really want to try them They really should make sun lenses

This is very old news, lol. I remember them saying it would make everything brighter, like if we had a irl saturation mode. I was in elementary school or early middle school when i saw these. I also remember my mom and her friends talking about it and saying it was all demonic. This had to be like 20years ago lol

[@kcmullins6179]

They probably can make em correctly now. My glasses change tint in the sun light... so if they able to make these , surely to God they can do contacts... especially with em making Google glasses ect now.. and iv had these style of glasses since 2006

[@gtd360]

I didn't even know they where a thing. Accuvue makes transition contacts. They arent to bad. My eye's would just go from blue to brown if I walked outside.

[@anthonyborchardt1153]

Yeah makes sense. I find it's harder to drive, for example with sunglasses on

[@anthonyborchardt1153]

I'm sure it just has to do with the amount of information you're able to process based on how much light you're taking in

[@gulyberdt5513]

No, they didn't study them after.. releasing them, selling them, making athletes and people wear them was the study.

[@andrew1898]

HAHA i had these things when i was a wrestler in High School. These things worked great! Throw em in before going onto the mat and it would FREAK out my opponents 😂😂

[@jeremyjdl713]

Do they improve athletic performance? No. Do they literally block UV light bc of how colors and color filters work? Yes. Just cause they didn’t work for sports doesn’t mean they didn’t literally work as UV filters.

[@flibsshostar1394]

"Contacts... It gives no tactical advantage whatsoever."

[@lorenzotrujillo4750]

I genuinely never heard of these

[@TastyFlanPudding]

Isn't it dangerous to wear for contact sports? What if somehow something gets slammed to your eyes while wearing it. Normally you might have gotten away with it, but having contacts there might make it into a serious injury.
