Contact lenses
and sports.
The UK Organisation of Medical Officers of Schools Association offers this advice on its website www.mosa.org.uk. Whenever possible pupils should be expected to use soft contact lenses to correct vision during sport. In sports involving direct contact (e.g. football, rugby and martial arts) only soft lenses or nothing are acceptable.
Contact lenses also provide more natural vision than glasses so they might even improve your game!
