Nike Maxsight

Juniper Foo | Aug 29, 2005

Wanna look like a possessed Darth Maul? Just plonk on Nike's Maxsight contacts. Specially made for football players to help them see the ball better, particularly in bright sunlight, the lenses come in two tints to enhance different parts of the light spectrum for different activities. Amber lenses are said to be best for fast-moving ball sports, while the grey-green ones are better for those like golfers and runners who focus more on the landscape. Made in partnership with Bausch & Lomb over seven years, Maxsight is certainly a sight to behold when worn, since you'll either spook your pals with those fiercesome colored lenses or weird out strangers. Cool!

Price: Box of six 30-day lenses for US$60
Availability: Just out this month, at opticians in the US
Device: Performance-enhancing contact lenses
Basic specs: N.A.

Eye Jewelry

Juniper Foo | Aug 18, 2005

If artist James Sooy's pierced eyeglasses aren't enough to make a spectacle of yourself, check out Amsterdam-based designer Eric Klarenbeek's eye jewelry. Presumably safer than the fashion trend which caught the eye of Dutch women last year, in which surgeons implanted tiny pieces of jewelry called Eye Jewel into the eye's mucous membrane, fellow countryman Klarenbeek has opted for a less invasive option. His eye jewelry uses contact lenses to hang funky stuff from, and claims to have no effect whatsoever on your sight. Nor do you even feel it. Seeing, of course, is believing.
