Show Give Dad A New Look For Father's Day If your dad s a sportsman, soft contact lenses might be just the gift for him this Father's Day. More men are wearing soft lenses today because of their comfort and the advantages they provide in nearly every sport. On a sail or powered boat, there's no worry about trying to see through water-splashed spectacles. Soft contact lenses hug the cornea so closely that, in other sports, they seldom pop off even during the most jarring jolt, and it's all but impossible for dust or specks of dirt to float under them. Lenses should be removed before sleeping or swimming and in the presence of noxious and irritating vapors. In 1971, when Bausch & Lomb introduced the first soft contact lenses, few contact wearers were men. A recent review of nearly 4,000 Care Kit warranty cards shows approximately 27 percent of today's contact wearers are men. For Father's Day, the gift you wrap will be an appointment with your dad's eye doctor. Only he can tell if your father is a good soft contact lens candidate. |
