Choosing the Right Sports Safety Eyewear

Sports make for a fun, fulfilling and healthy lifestyle. But you shouldn’t overlook the necessary precautions, such as eye safety. If you want to be at the top of your game, make sure your eyes are protected with the right gear. Here’s what you should look for in eye protection.

Invest in sports eyewear with polycarbonate lenses. Many sports eye equipment use this type of lens because it provides greater impact resistance. These lenses are especially handy in sports that involve fast-flying objects, such as baseball. Polycarbonate lenses also include ultraviolet (UV) protection so you can keep your eyes safe when playing under harsh sunlight. Scratches on your eye safety gear will be the least of your worries either; all polycarbonate lenses come with a scratch-resistance coating on both front and back surfaces.
Consult your local eye doctor. To ensure you’re getting the best eye protection, you should first visit your eye doctors. After a comprehensive eye examination, they’ll help you choose the protective sports eyewear that suits your specific sports and lifestyle.
Use the appropriate eye safety gear for a specific sport. You should, for example, use specialized face masks or goggles for lacrosse, swimming, archery and hockey. The same goes for sports like snowboarding and skiing, where snow flurries and high winds can hamper your vision. For those who wear glasses and play soccer, basketball, biking or tennis, you might want to get polycarbonate goggles. They can be worn over your glasses. In fact, there are even choices that can match your existing prescription so you won’t have to wear both glasses and goggles at the same time.

You can enjoy sports better – and have greater peace of mind – when you have the appropriate sports eye safety gear from Insight Vision Center Optometry.

My first eye exam in fifteen years. I am so thankful that I found Insight Vision Center. Dr. Lam and staff made me feel like a welcome guest. My eye exam revealed very minor blurriness and Dr. Lam did not pressure me into purchasing eyewear for a condition not necessitating glasses… yet. Maybe next year? I am getting older. They took my VSP insurance. Yay!

Scott H.

Dr. Lam and staff are amazing. Every phone call or interaction is friendly. You can feel the smiles and joy over whatever mode of communication you are interacting with them. Dr. Lam is very knowledgeable and helps you to better understand everything that is going on with your eyes. She made me aware of potential problems I may have with my eyes and walked me through every step of the process. She helped me understand the various factors that could be causing my vision to be a little impaired and followed up with me as I had to see an ophthalmologist. Great team, great office.
