J&J reaches out to sporting organisations

Johnson & Johnson has written a new Vision to Win newsletter to encourage members of the UK's sporting federations to have regular eye examinations.

The newsletter, which has been distributed to members of all the 270 Central Council of Physical Recreation member organisations, aims to raise the importance of eye examinations among sportsmen of all levels.

The newsletter also encourages sporting enthusiasts to visit eye care professionals who have been trained in performance, vision and sport for a sports specific eye exam, to help improve their performance and overall game.

The benefits of contact lenses in sport are also highlighted, showing how they can give better peripheral vision, potentially higher visual acuity in each eye and better contrast when playing sports.
