When we think about vision, most people assume that “perfect” means 20/20.
But step into the real world, on the field, on the water, or under bright lights and that definition quickly falls short. Because vision isn’t just about clarity. It’s about how efficiently your brain processes light, contrast, movement, and glare.
And that’s where things break down.
Athletes miss critical details in motion. Patients with light sensitivity experience discomfort or even migraines. Everyday activities become more challenging under harsh or changing lighting conditions.
The reality is simple:
Everything starts with what you're seeing versus what you think you’re seeing.

For decades, contact lenses have served one purpose: vision correction.
ALTIUS® changes that paradigm.
You can benefit from ALTIUS® even if you don’t use a vision correction. In fact, more than 75% of ALTIUS® Lenses are prescribed in plano (= zero power / non-correcting) a clear signal that patients and athletes are seeking something more:
✔ Better visual performance
✔ Greater comfort in bright conditions
✔ Relief from light sensitivity
Even individuals with “perfect” vision still struggle with:
These aren’t vision correction problems. They’re light management problems.
ALTIUS® confronts these challenges at the source: light itself. Using proprietary Light Architecture™ Technology, ALTIUS® lenses are engineered to:
The result?
A more efficient visual system that allows you to:
See Better. Feel Better. Perform Better.

As another baseball season begins, players face one of the most visually demanding environments in sports. Bright midday sun. Low-angle afternoon glare. Stadium shadows cutting across the infield.
In baseball, milliseconds matter and so does visual clarity.
From tracking a 90+ mph fastball to judging spin on a breaking pitch, your visual system must process fine detail in ever-changing light conditions. That’s where ALTIUS® Performance-Tinted Soft Contact Lenses CHANGE THE GAME. Even if you’ve never worn contact lenses, ALTIUS® were designed with every baseball player in mind, including those requiring no vision correction. ALTIUS® for Every Player.
Baseball is an extremely demanding dynamic, reactive sport that requires:
Research spanning over two decades shows that Performance-Tinted Soft Contact Lenses can dramatically improve visual performance in bright outdoor conditions*.
Early-season games create unique visual stress:
Standard sunglasses restrict peripheral vision, can fog, shift, and compromise performance during play. Clear lenses don’t filter harsh wavelengths that reduce visual clarity.
ALTIUS® Lenses were engineered specifically to solve these problems.
ALTIUS® Amber (50% Visible Light Transmission) is engineered for dynamic, reactive target tracking sports like baseball.
By reducing visual noise and filtering specific wavelengths, ALTIUS® enhances edge definition and contrast helping players with pitch recognition and seeing the ball’s seams, spin, and trajectory with greater precision. Outcome: University research with Collegiate baseball players demonstrated dramatic improvements in batting statistics.*

Tripp Hannah, a shortstop and pitcher from Yulee, Florida, is a top-ranked Class of 2026 prospect with a Perfect Game Grade of 10, placing him in the top 1% nationally. Signed with Oklahoma State for 2026–2027, he relentlessly pursues every competitive edge.
After adding ALTIUS® Amber to his game, Tripp shared:
"I have really good vision (but) I got the the point where I was struggling really bad, I couldn't see, especially during the daytime...I put them (ALTIUS) on and I walked outside and I instantly knew... the contrast was so easy to see. I wore them in a game and it was so much better right away."
We hope you saw Von Miller from the Buffalo Bills wearing ALTIUS Performance-Tinted Contact Lenses during an interview on the Pat McAfee show.
The Super Bowl MVP linebacker was interviewed in the renowned show on May 23, 2023. Von was wearing ALTIUS Amber lenses while talking to Pat. The host, who has 2.2 million subscribers on his YouTube channel was amazed by the tinted contacts. In less than 18 hours the video had more than 35 thousand views!
Do you have red contacts? Was McAfee's first question to the NFL star. Von’s immediate response was to lean closer to the camera so the host could have a better look at the ALTIUS contacts. "We were outside today, these are like shades but they are contacts" he said.
The linebacker explained that these lenses block the sun light and blue light, enhancing his vision on the field. He also mentioned they are more comfortable to wear than sunglasses when running or warming up as they don't fog up or have light leakage, which is distracting to the NFL player (and to anyone who wears glassess). "You can work as hard as you want, sweat and don't have any problems" adds the player. Von Miller said he started wearing ALTIUS when he was in Los Angeles playing for the Rams and he has continued to use them: "I really love these a lot, specially while I'm out there and it's sunny, specially in the golf course", he said. To this response McAfee could only reply, "So these are performance enhancing contacts.”
So why does Von wear ALTIUS?
ALTIUS Performance-Tinted Contact Lenses are engineered to enhance your visual performance by eliminating visual noise, primarily from harsh blue light. This improves the rest of the light spectrum you see, which provides greater visual clarity and comfort while playing sports.
