Irish rugby international Linda Djougang, the newest ambassador for Specsavers, is tackling common myths about contact lenses and sharing how they’ve transformed her game.

"Honestly, the biggest myth about contact lenses is that they're uncomfortable," says Linda. "I wear mine through intense training sessions and full matches, and I genuinely forget they're even there. My only regret is not trying them sooner."

As a qualified nurse, Linda also confirms that the old myth about lenses getting lost behind your eye is impossible. She explains that if a lens shifts, it’s easily corrected with a few blinks or a gentle touch.

For Linda, contacts are a game-changer on the rugby pitch. They give her "completely unobstructed vision," allowing her to see every angle and opponent. This clarity and freedom are essential for her focus and agility during a match.

If you're ready to experience the freedom and clarity that Linda enjoys, you can book a contact lens appointment at Specsavers Louth.
