Performance in sport relies on one's eyes being functional.  In order to protect those eyes we recommend eye protection.  Eye protection is not your basic glasses, these are glasses/goggles that meet ASTM standards for that sport/activity.
We feel that wearing "street" eyewear while playing a sport puts you at greater risk of an eye injury than if you did not wear any eye protection.
​
It is important to select the correct type of protective eyewear for you.  Please have the eyewear inspected by your eye doctor.

For more information on different types of protective eyewear related to sport that meet ASTM standards, take a look at:
