Despite suffering a contact lens mishap, a Selkirk runner managed to complete, and win, a race at the Earlston Games.
David Knox was taking part in the 200 metre race when his contact lens came out mid-run.
Such issues would not be a problem for wearers of ortho k lenses, with the possibility of losing a lens negated by the fact that they are worn at night.
Had Mr Knox have tried
ortho k, it is entirely possible that he could have won the race more convincingly - his photo-finish with Lind Nicholson meant he won by only a hair's breadth.
Ortho k lenses can be particularly useful for those who play sports - as they are worn while asleep, there is no need for any further lens-wearing during the day, a fact that runners, contact sports players and swimmers can all benefit from.
If you play sports and are worried about your contact lenses, why not try
ortho k now?
