As we gear up for Super Bowl XLIV – one of the greatest spectator experiences of the year – I had the opportunity to spend time with my friends at Transitions, along with Dr. Larry Lampert, at Radio Row. The media center was buzzing with excitement and anticipation for this weekend’s big match up and filled with the game’s greatest athletes and media personalities.
Amidst all the sports talk and predictions, Transitions® lenses and my experience wearing them were the focus of much of our discussion with radio stations across the country. After spending years on the field battling intense glare and the sun’s UV rays, I was unaware of the damage this was causing to my eyes. I wish I had known then what I know now about protecting my eyes and taking better care of what has allowed me to experience so many wonderful things and share with others my up close and personal experience.
Wearing Transitions lenses has truly changed my life. They are a great complement to my busy lifestyle. As someone who spends a significant amount of time outdoors – whether I’m working in the bright sunlight or on the field during a cloudy afternoon – Transitions automatically adapt to provide just the right amount of darkness to allow me to see comfortably, while protecting my eyes from UV damage.
As the countdown to kick-off begins here in sunny Miami, I encourage everyone – athletes and spectators alike and those tuning in from around the world – it’s never too early or too late to begin protecting your precious eyesight and be sure to visit your eye doctor regularly.
