Athletes - 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's important that all athletes wear appropriate sports-safe eyewear.
Visit a local eye doctor to learn what eyewear is appropriate for your sports and how you should properly use their eyewear. The wrong eyewear or eyewear used incorrectly will not only be ineffective, but can negatively impact your vision, performance and safety. Be sure you discuss each sport you play with your eye doctor.
Below are a few tips and resources to help you understand sports-safe eyewear:
As a general rule, fashion eyewear is never acceptable to play any sport in.

In some cases, eyewear can be a detriment, and contact lenses may be a better option.
