Ortho k lenses could have helped one cricket player when he got himself into an awkward situation last month.
James Morris, who was playing in the Minor Counties Championship for Berkshire, lost one of his daywear contact lenses while playing a match, the Reading Post reports.
Mr Morris's mother had to rush home to get him a second pair of lenses so that he could see clearly through both eyes.
He eventually went on to score a century.
For regular and professional sports players,
ortho k lenses are a great solution to the worry that a daywear lens may fall out.
The overnight vision correction lenses are worn while asleep and taken out in the morning, so that the wearer has perfectly
natural vision once awake.
For sports players it can be hugely beneficial and had Mr Morris known about them, not only could his mother have saved on petrol, but he could have performed even better than he did in the game.
