Von Miller’s Myopia

If you are going to watch the Super Bowl tonight, you may well spot superstar pass rusher Von Miller. The Los Angeles Rams were already a team with a lot of pass rushing strength, and they brought in Von Miller during the season to bolster what was already an advantage.

Miller has been very public about his myopia; he can often be spotted wearing glasses in his off-field work. He, along with many other NFL players, wears contact lenses most of the time while playing football. As you watch the Big Game, think about how many of those players may not be able to do their jobs so well without the help of eye doctors! Miller also has programs to increase public awareness of eye care issues. It is great to have a famous football player who is interested in bringing better eye care to the world!
