“…In fact, although both models have been shown to contain the most important psychological predictors of health-related behaviours, only a few studies have directly addressed the relative importance of these variables [19]. Although there are some recent studies in the DDCL literature that have demonstrated how attitudes toward CL affect wearers' intentions and behaviour [24,25,26,27], there has been little work using HBT models in the CL domain.…”

Non-compliance with DDCLs replacement is widespread, affecting 1 out of 4 Italian wearers. Results from the TPB model show that the involvement of persons socially close to the wearers (subjective norms) and the improvement of the procedure of behavioural control of daily replacement (behavioural control) are of paramount importance in improving compliance. With reference to the HBM, it is important to warn DDCLs wearers of the severity of a contact-lens-related eye infection, and to underline the possibility of its prevention.

“…The data showed that while age and gender do not affect the importance that sport players attribute to visual correction, other variables do have an impact, including the type of sport, level of practice, years of practice, and days of the week spent training. Individuals practising different types of sport have different perceptions of the importance of vision correction in sports previously reported . For example the importance reached levels of 5.0 ± 1.0 for a sport like volleyball and dropped to 3.9 ± 1.6 for fitness.…”

This study showed that sport was not associated with different levels of myopia prevalence in the adult population. However, subjects engaging in outdoor sports had lower rates of myopia prevalence. Penetration of contact lens use in sport was four times higher than the overall adult population. Contact lenses were the preferred system of correction in sports compared to spectacles or refractive surgery, but this preference was affected by the type of sport practised and by the age and level of sports activity for which the preference was required.

“…Eye care practitioners and sports practitioners [ 23 ] are encouraged to explore the range of visual correction options with people who run, and to signpost them to contact lenses as an option if this has not previously been considered. However, visual correction choice does not create a barrier to recreational running and can be successfully participated in with any form of vision correction.…”

Purpose Recreational runners who need refractive visual correction will need to choose the type of visual correction (spectacles, contact lenses, or no correction) to wear when running. The prevalence of correction choices and distinguishing demographic features associated with these choices of correction were investigated. Methods A 26-item online questionnaire covering demographics, running habits, and visual corrections used was answered by 941 people. Participants were aged 18 years or older, considered themselves a recreational runner and reported needing refractive correction for everyday life. Bivariate analyses and binary logistic regression were used to determine the variables independently associated with including or avoiding types of correction for running. Results & conclusions Participants ran an average of 3.8times, 3.6hours, and 33.4km per week. Running habits were not associated with type of visual correction, suggesting that visual correction does not present a barrier to participating in recreational running. Solely using spectacles for running was the most common choice (38.8%) and they were worn for running at least sometimes by 65.8%. Fewer people wore spectacles for running than for general purposes (98.9%), suggesting spectacles have limitations for running. Spectacle wear for running was significantly associated with not having contact lenses available and longer duration of wearing visual correction. Running without correction was a common choice, with 15.5% of the sample only running without correction, and 26.2% running at least sometimes without their visual correction. Not wearing correction was significantly associated with not having contact lenses, a shorter duration of wearing visual correction, and a lower myopic refractive error. Contact lenses were the sole correction for running for 15.6% and were worn for running at least sometimes by 40.5%. Contact lenses were significantly more likely to be used by women and younger runners. Signposting runners to contact lenses if this has not previously been considered is recommended.
