Wearing Contacts!

Yes - it take time to adjust to the contacts - hand eye is affected - eventual he will do better with contacts - are the contacts the flexible throw aways or the rigged contacts - the rigged ones will move when you blink and you will lose your focus for a second - rigged ones are not the one for sports but the flexible contacts don't have same problem

ryaussy...He wears the flexible ones...Thanks for your response!

Coach Jorge,

My son went thru the same thing a few years ago and the problem was the prescription he was given for the contacts was just a little off. A recheck a couple of weeks latter revealed this and after the prescription was corrected he was back to hitting like his old self immediately. Therefore I would recommend the player go back to the Doctor and have his parents explain the situation. There is a big difference in having your contacts tuned good enough to read the board at school and having them tuned to hit a baseball. For example some kids have a slight stigmatism to go along with they’re near sightedness and glasses correct this easily. Usually the contacts only correct the near sightedness and not the stigmatism this would require a special contact that costs considerably more.

Thank you for your input! This has been very informative, in combination with all others! Much appreciated!

I personally went through the chance at around 14. I decided it was time to switch from glasses after being hit in the eye while playing first base. The change will take a decent amount of time, although once its over your son will love the contacts. ALOT easier than glasses
