Madison joins a team of global ambassadors who have achieved success in sports, dance, photography and more, showing what's possible when you set your sights high and See It Through.
"As a professional tennis player, I'm adjusting my line of sight constantly throughout a match, watching my opponent and a ball that can travel at speeds of more than 100 mph," said Madison Keys. "Clear vision is critical to me, and I wear ACUVUE Brand Contact Lenses to help me perform at my best, with comfort and UV protection.†‡ As I prepare for this summer's season on the courts, my goal is to persevere no matter the odds – and I know that no matter what I get served, my contacts will help keep my eyes feeling moist and comfortable – giving me the vision I need to See It Through."
One of the best players of her generation, Madison broke into the World Top 10 during the 2016 season and made her first major final at the age of 22. Off the court, she is an ambassador for FearlesslyGiRL, an anti-bullying organization dedicated to empowering young girls. Since partnering with the organization in 2016, Madison has held school summits and anti-bullying assemblies across the U.S., and has plans to take the summits global this year.

Important information for contact lens wearers:
ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses are available by prescription only for vision correction. An eye care professional will determine whether contact lenses are right for you. Although rare, serious eye problems can develop while wearing contact lenses. To help avoid these problems, follow the wear and replacement schedule and the lens care instructions provided by your eye doctor. Do not wear contact lenses if you have an eye infection, or experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness or other eye problems. If one of these conditions occurs, remove the lens and contact your eye doctor immediately. For more information on proper wear, care and safety, talk to your eye care professional, call 1-800-843-2020, or download the Patient Instruction Guide.
†Helps protect against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye.
‡WARNING: UV-absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV-absorbing eyewear such as UV-absorbing goggles or sunglasses because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. You should continue to use UV-absorbing eyewear as directed. NOTE: Long-term exposure to UV radiation is one of the risk factors associated with cataracts. Exposure is based on a number of factors such as environmental conditions (altitude, geography, cloud cover) and personal factors (extent and nature of outdoor activities). UV-blocking contact lenses help provide protection against harmful UV radiation. However, clinical studies have not been done to demonstrate that wearing UV-blocking contact lenses reduces the risk of developing cataracts or other eye disorders. Consult your eye care practitioner for more information.
