Athletes will often want to have their vision working at its absolute best.
Pete Reed, who is currently looking to compete in the 2012 London Olympic Games, has undergone eye laser surgery to make sure his sight is working at its best.
The rower undertook the surgery in a bid to rid himself of day wear lenses and glasses, both of which can be a burden for people who regularly train to compete at their peak.
However, there are risks with eye laser surgery that means some in the sports world may wish to look for an alternative way to get
natural vision.
Orthokeratology is one way of avoiding potential
eye laser surgery complications.
Worn at night,
ortho k lenses help to gently reshape the cornea, leading to
natural vision the following day.
Ortho k lenses can be a great option for sportsmen and women who are keen to find a way to avoid glasses and day wear lenses but also avoid lasers too.
