September is Sports Eye Safety Month

According to Prevent Blindness America, over 90% of sports-related eye injuries are preventable with the right type of protective eyewear. We at Sports Vision Pros believe in the need for our athletes to protect their eyes while they are participating in activities.

Did you know that there are protective eyewear standards designed for specific sports? The ASTM standards allow for eye protection when playing your sport or activity.

We want to provide a couple of great resources for you where Dr. Keith Smithson discusses the importance of eye protection and sport. Please talk with your eyecare provider about what is the right eyewear for you.

Vision Monday has highlighted Dr. Smithson and this video in a recent article - https://www.visionmonday.com/scene-and-heard/todays-read/article/september-brings-sports-eye-safety-month-with-help-and-resources-from-prevent-blindness/
