Elevate Your Game with Sports and Safety Glasses
When you step onto the field or court, you're not just playing but making a statement. Whether a Little League champ or a skating pro, sports eyewear is your winning accessory.
These glasses do more than shield your eyes; they up your game. Sports eyewear keeps you safe and enhances performance, from specialized goggles to sleek wraparound frames with polycarbonate lenses.
Wearing sports goggles isn't a cringe-worthy concept anymore. Like bike helmets have become second nature, sports goggles are the new cool.
Guard Against the Fast and Furious
Still not sure about the need for protective eyewear?
- Hospitals treat 40,000 sports-related eye injuries each year.
- Racquetball serves at 60 to 200 miles per hour. High-speed racquets are a recipe for collisions.
- Pokes and jabs are par for the course in many sports; even basketball has eye injury risks.
Boost Your Game with Sports Eyewear
Until recently, people with mild to moderate vision correction skipped eyeglasses or contacts for sports. But here's the secret: top performance demands sharp vision. Sports glasses deliver 20/20 vision, giving you the competitive edge you need.
What Makes Sports Glasses Tick?
Sports eyewear isn't an ordinary pair of glasses or sunglasses; it caters to the unique requirements of each sport. Some even snugly integrate with helmets for sports like football, baseball, or hockey.
Now, let's talk lenses. They're made from polycarbonate, tough, impact-resistant, and offer full UV protection. Plus, they're scratch-resistant, perfect for intense sports.
The frames withstand impacts and are padded with rubber at every contact point with your face — some wraparound, securing your face during activities like sailing or biking. Non-prescription wraparounds also protect contact lens wearers from dust and wind.
Gone are the days of plain handball goggles. Modern versions sport polycarbonate lenses, shielding your eyes effectively.
The Importance of the Right Fit
One size doesn't fit all in sports goggles. Proper sizing is key. Oversized goggles won't protect your child's eyes properly, and undersized ones will compromise comfort and peripheral vision.
Yearly re-evaluation ensures they're still comfy and provide the right protection. The padding should rest flush with the face, and the eyes should sit in the lens zone.
