Protection for Eyes That Work & Play Hard
Eye injuries can happen fast, and many are preventable with the right protection. Sports, hobbies, and certain workplaces carry a higher risk for impact, debris, or eye strain, which is why we offer eyewear designed for performance and safety.
Unlike generic options, our safety and sports eyewear can be made to match your prescription, fit your face, and include features such as anti-fog coatings or UV protection.
Eyewear options We offer
Sports Goggles
Designed to stay secure and withstand impact, ideal for basketball, soccer, racquet sports, and more.
Safety Eyewear
Durable, ANSI-rated glasses for workplaces with eye hazard risks, including prescription-compatible options.
Contacts for Athletes
A great option for contact sports or helmet use, providing clear, unobstructed vision and better peripheral awareness.
Lens Coatings & Tints
Choose from anti-fog, UV-blocking, and glare-reducing coatings to match your environment or conditions.
Prescription Inserts & Wraparound Styles
Combine vision correction with full coverage for maximum protection on the job or in competition.
Vision Support for Student & Youth Athletes
From the soccer field to the classroom, clear and protected vision is essential, especially for kids who are still developing hand-eye coordination and visual tracking skills. We offer impact-resistant sports eyewear for student athletes.
For teens and older children, contact lenses may also be a great fit, especially for sports that require helmets or frequent movement. We’ll work with you and your child to find the best option and fit.
Do I really need separate glasses for sports or work?
Yes, regular glasses aren’t designed to protect against impact, flying debris, or physical contact. Safety-rated eyewear offers critical protection that your everyday glasses can’t.
Can safety glasses be made with my prescription?
Absolutely. We offer prescription-compatible safety and sports eyewear, so you don’t have to sacrifice clarity for protection.
Which lenses are best for fog or glare?
We offer anti-fog coatings, polarized lenses, and tinted options for people who work or play in high-glare or humid environments.
Can kids wear sports goggles over their glasses?
Some can, but prescription sports goggles are often safer and more comfortable. We’ll help you explore all the best options for your child.
