Justin Herbert Reveals New Secret to Improve His Vision

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has drawn attention during the team’s first training camp practice. Not only for his performance, but also for a subtle but significant change in his appearance: UV-protective contact lenses. After signing autographs and taking photos with the fans, it could be observed that Herbert’s characteristic blue eyes were showing a reddish tone. The explanation is not an aesthetic change, but a measure to optimize his vision on the field. Herbert explained that these UV-protective contact lenses are a tool to help him see the playing field better during the season. Previously, he had tried a tinted visor on his helmet, a popular option among many players, but he wasn’t convinced due to how often he needed to clean it.

I didn’t have to squint so much.

Herbert began using the lenses earlier this week during rookie camp practices, and has noticed a big difference in his comfort. These prescription contact lenses for sensitive eyes have improved his vision on the field, and he plans to use them throughout the season, although he admitted that he must check if they are within the league’s rules. The effectiveness of the lenses became evident during Thursday’s practice, where Herbert connected with his receivers with ease. The best moment of the day was a deep pass to Jalen Reagor, who managed to catch the ball over the outstretched arms of cornerback Cam Hart for a touchdown.
