Practicing sports activities for children has several benefits:
- Improves physical and mental health and development
- Important in emotional control and management;
- Promotes social inclusion;
- Helps develop self-esteem, self-confidence and fair play
- Allows you to work on social skills and develop teamwork
- There is evidence that sports activity improves the learning process and academic performance.
All these benefits will be more easily achieved if the child has good visual performance and, to achieve this, the refractive error must be compensated for when practicing sports activities.
Most sports activities cannot be practiced with normal prescription glasses and, in these cases, the solution is prescription sports glasses or daily replacement contact lenses.
Prescription sports glasses have frames with specific characteristics, namely the fact that they are light and resistant and have polycarbonate lenses , allowing the use of refraction in practically all sporting activities.
Despite being a topic that still generates some controversy, daily contact lenses are a valid and safe option for children and teenagers!
When practicing sports, the greatest advantage of using contact lenses is that they allow a wide field of vision without the limitations of sports glasses , as well as fewer limitations in high-impact sports.
