CORRECTIVE LENSES

If you need corrective lenses, wear contact lenses to play better basketball.  Eye glasses correct your vision but also distort your vision by changing the apparent size of the world you see.  This is called spherical abberation.  If you’re near sighted, eye glasses make the world appear smaller than reality.  If you’re far sighted, eye glasses make the world appear larger than reality.  The eye / hand cordination required to play better basketball is difficult enough without having to play basketball in a visually impaired reality.  Contact lenses correct your vision without causing spherical abberation.  If you wish to protect your eyes on the basketball court you can always use basketball goggles with clear lenses, however you need to be certain your basketball googles do not hinder your peripheral vision.

Contact lenses also allow you to fully utilize your peripheral vision which instanly makes you a better basketball player.
