Amber Contact Lenses 

Nike and Bausch & Lomb have produced amber contact lenses that reduce glare. The lenses are designed for use by athletes and sportspeople.


The amber lens is for fast-moving ball sports, such as tennis, baseball, football or soccer. Grey-green is better for blocking glare for runners or helping a golfer read the contour of the ground.

'Contact lense designed to give athlete and edge' (CNN, 7 July 2006).

Many people with retinal degeneration will be aware that amber lenses block blue light, which is believed may damage the retina. For more information visit Bausch & Lomb: Nike Maxsight.
