Shooting is a very
visually demanding sport. It is totally dependent
on how well the target can be detected and then
visualized. More precise vision leads to a more
accurate shot.
What are the factors that affect our ability to see
the target? First
we must consider the amount of target contrast.
Contrast is the difference in shade between two
objects. The greater the contrast, the easier it is
to distinguish one object from another (i.e. clay
target from sky or deer from forest floor). Bulls
Eye Optix utilize specific colors for certain target
/ background combinations. This is done to maximize
contrast, allowing faster more accurate
determination of where to place the shot.
To further heighten target awareness we must
decrease the “noise” in the visual system. Light
rays from objects in the field of vision enter the
eye in many different directions. Some of these
light rays travel in directions that are difficult
for the eye to bring into a sharp focus. This is
often perceived as glare or shimmer or excessive
brightness. Bulls Eye Optix lenses contain a
polarization film within the plastic. By preventing
light rays from unwanted directions this film only
allows the most clearly focused light rays to enter
the eye. This eliminates glare and improves the
overall quality of vision.
Another factor limiting target detection is the
refractive error of the eye. This is the de-focus or
blurriness that results from needing prescription
lenses. Bulls Eye Optix can be made in most
prescriptions to minimize the blur caused by
refractive error. |
