Military & First Responders - Field-Safe Eyewear
No matter how much you train, accidents will inevitably happen. Accidents that lead to eye injuries can have a long-lasting impact on your vision and lead to permanent blindness. Loss of vision can not only impact performance, but can negatively impact your physical and mental health, as well as your academics and work. Therefore, it is important to wear appropriate performance-safe eyewear.
Visit a local eye doctor to learn what eyewear is appropriate for your line of duty and how you should properly use their eyewear. The wrong eyewear used incorrectly will not only be ineffective, but can negatively impact your vision, performance and safety. Be sure you discuss all physical activities you perform, both on and off duty, with your eye doctor.
Below are a few tips and resources to help you understand safe eyewear:
As a general rule, fashion eyewear is never acceptable for extreme or high risk situations.
All eyewear should be certified for impact resistance.
In some cases, eyewear can be a detriment, and contact lenses may be a better option.
