Skiing with colored lenses is possible!
Are you a particular fan of the mountains and skiing or snowboarding? Enjoy skiing with your colored contact lenses. Meslentillesdecouleur.com gives you the precautions to take in the mountains.
Many of you wear colored contact lenses for aesthetic reasons and/or to correct your vision. You're probably wondering if you can wear your colored contact lenses in the mountains once winter comes.
The answer? Yes, of course! Wearing colored lenses when skiing or snowboarding has many benefits.
First of all, your vision is much wider when you wear corrective colored lenses rather than prescription glasses. You'll be more comfortable tearing down black and red slopes with expanded peripheral vision!
Stability is also much better with colored lenses. While glasses can move at the slightest bump and come off your nose, colored lenses stay firmly in place on your eyes; they don't move.
When you practice a sliding sport (skiing, snowboarding, ice skating), you're not immune to falls. Don't risk damaging your glasses in the mountains; opt for colored lenses instead!
Use disposable colored lenses in the mountains
Another tip: opt for disposable colored lenses (also called daily colored lenses) during your ski week. You won't have to maintain your colored contact lenses every night while your friends are quietly drinking mulled wine at the hotel bar around 9 p.m.
Wear UV-blocking colored contact lenses in the mountains
Wear UV-blocking colored contact lenses. As you know, in the mountains, the sun is hot and your eyes are particularly exposed. The UV filter will protect your cornea and the inside of your eye from UV rays. We still recommend wearing ski goggles to protect yourself from the sun. Indeed, snow reflects up to 90% of UV rays, which puts you at risk of overexposure to the sun. Luckily, all the colored lenses featured on www.meslentillesdecouleur.com have UV filters.
Prevent dry eyes with mountain eye drops and sprays
During your stay in the mountains, you may experience dry eyes. The humidity is lower at higher altitudes. The dry air can dry out your eyes. Use eye drops or eye spray to treat dry eyes.
