Recreation is a dynamic aspect of modern day life. Providing the ametropic patient with equal access to recreation fulfills the mission of the eye care professional. The astute practitioner must balance the ethical values of prescribing in the best interest of the patient with the desire to do no harm. Knowledge of the demands presented by water sports and of the risks presented by the aqueous environment must be balanced with an understanding of available contact lenses, proper regimens for lens wear and care, and the appropriate use of available protective eyewear. Patient education and instruction is also necessary for the management of risk and to optimize the benefits of vision correction for water sports.
娱乐是现代生活中充满活力的一个方面。为屈光不正患者提供平等的娱乐机会，是眼保健专业人员的使命。精明的从业者必须在为患者的最大利益开处方的道德价值观与不造成伤害的愿望之间取得平衡。对水上运动提出的要求以及水环境带来的风险的了解，必须与对现有隐形眼镜、正确的镜片佩戴和护理方案以及可用防护眼镜的适当使用的理解相平衡。患者教育和指导对于管理风险以及优化水上运动视力矫正的益处也是必要的。
