Play It Safe!

It's around that time of year when  you are starting to think about all the things that you or your child needs for school. Notebooks, check! Pencils, check! Eye Exam...getting warmer. What about sports glasses? 


We already know that a fair amount of children wear eye wear to correct their vision, but what do we do when they play sports? Usually our automatic answer is to have the child play their sports in their everyday glasses. The bad thing with this is if a child gets hit in the face with a ball, it could not only break the glasses, but also hurt the child. Some instances can be a bruise, black eye, to the most extreme...blindness. there are over 38,000 sports-related injuries a year. Don't let your child be one of those statistics! 

We carry a great line of protective sports eye wear called Liberty Sport. These glasses are made specifically for sports and play. Some styles are even dedicated to football, baseball, cycling, and water sports. These can also be used for basketball, tennis, golf, etc.

Guess what parents? There are some for you too! liberty Sport also makes adult glasses for not only sports, but for running, cycling, and motorcycle riding. These have turned out to be very popular to our bike riding patients!
