Prescription contacts for pool are impractical for everyday life’s vision needs, especially driving.
The depth of field prescription is adjusted to improve vision from 2-3’ distant to 12’. So your long
distance viewing suffers and is not practical for driving.
Getting contacts still require a optometrist so you can obtain a prescription and everyone has different
and distinct eyesight needs. Contacts are just another version of frameless, invisible eyewear to others
but need to be prescribed for the eyesight needs of the individual pool player’s requirements.
There’s also ongoing daily replacement cost for playing pool unless you can re-use them and how many
times? Regardless, there’s an on-going cost because of the contacts being a pool prescription, they’d be
impractical for wearing other than when playing pool. Nope, cool looking eyewear is the way to go, IMO.
They worked perfectly for me.
Only wore them for pool.
Put them in before I left for the poolroom otherwise wore my glasses.
Contacts were a tool and they worked great.
Of course new lenses after Cataract surgery worked better. No need for Contacts anymore. No billiard glasses either.
From what I have been reading billiard glasses are rather a picyune problem.
Contacts just work, or they did for me.
Now 20/20 vision, no Contacts
