Contact lenses for sports

Benefits of contact lenses for sports

Whether you’re an extreme sports enthusiast or just go running occasionally, contact lenses give you the freedom to focus on your sport¹.

Contact lenses give you clear all-round vision without the frames of your glasses restricting your view.
They don’t slip down your nose when you sweat or pick up reflections that distort your view.
They don't mist up or get splashed by the rain and won’t break if something accidentally hits you in the face.
They can be worn with masks, helmets, or any other type of sporting headgear.

Contact lenses and swimming

While contact lenses are perfect for an active lifestyle, it’s not advised to expose your contact lenses to water, and as such swimming with contact lenses should be avoided. This includes wearing contact lenses not just while swimming, but also showering, bathing and using a hot tub.

All ACUVUE^® Contact Lenses have UV-blocking to help provide protection against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye.

UV-absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. You should continue to use UV-absorbing eyewear as directed by your Eye Care Professional.

^{^} If you like to swim or take part in water sports, seek advice from your optician about activities involving contact with water. Exposing contact lenses to water may increase the risk of eye infection. If your lenses unexpectedly come into contact with water, discard them and replace them with a fresh pair.

Important information for contact lens wearers: ACUVUE^® Contact Lenses can be used for vision correction. An Eye Care Professional will determine whether contact lenses are right for you. Although rare, serious eye problems can develop while wearing contact lenses. To help avoid these problems, follow the wear and replacement schedule and instructions on proper lens care. Do not wear contact lenses if you have an eye infection, any eye disease or systemic disease that may affect the eye, or if you are allergic to any ingredients. If you experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness or other eye problems, remove the lens and contact your Eye Care Professional immediately. For detailed information on proper wear, care, warnings and precautions, talk to your Eye Care Professional and carefully read the Instructions for Use available on Johnson & Johnson website https://www.e-ifu.com/.
