If you play sports, athletic prescription glasses can make it possible to see clearly and be comfortable while playing. Engaging in sports or high-intensity activities can make it difficult for traditional glasses to remain in place. Even if they fit quite securely during normal daily activities, as soon as you start running, jumping, bouncing or moving, the same glasses may no longer feel secure. Lose glasses present a challenge when trying to play both casually or competitively.
Fortunately, we have a solution that can help. Athletic glasses are highly convenient and make it possible to do the things that patients enjoy without concern over vision. We suggest scheduling an appointment to find out how these types of glasses can work to improve daily activities and athletic ability. After all, it is difficult to play or perform without being able to see clearly.
Benefits of athletic prescriptions glasses
We encourage people to visit our office and learn about the benefits of a new pair of glasses. Some of the many benefits of athletic glasses include:
Comfortable fit
We can make athletic glasses out of softer materials, to create a more comfortable fit when moving around aggressively.
Security
There is typically a strap that goes behind the glasses to help them remain in place during times of high activity. This strap helps provide stability for the glasses to remain in place.
Shatter-proof
It is important for lenses to be shatterproof when worn while playing sports.
Fun designs and cool colors
Athletic glasses promotes high performance while looking fun and fashionable.
Easy to store
We provide a convenient carrying case so that athletic glasses can be kept nearby or in a gym bag.
Perfect for kids
Both adults and children can benefit from wearing these types of glasses and we have a variety of styles that work well for children, making it possible for them to engage in sports while seeing clearly.
Even athletes wear them
Glasses are common but there has been a misconception that they are not for people who are cool or athletic and this is simply not true. Many star athletes actually do need help with their vision and wear contacts or glasses. Some of the athletes wearing glasses on the court or field include:
Horace Grant of the Bulls, Lakers, SuperSonics, and Magic
He coordinated his athletic glasses to match his uniforms, making his style cool and his vision clear.
Janko Tipsarevic, a tennis player
Janko wears prescription Oakleys while playing tennis, even though he tried contacts first. Some people prefer glasses and as an optometrist, we understand why.
Edgar Davids, a soccer player
Edgar suffered from an eye condition called glaucoma and needed to begin wearing glasses on the field. He was able to remain a competitor and protect his eyes in the process.
