Everything Parents Should Know About Children's Protective Eyewear

Research shows that eye injuries account for 40,000 emergency room visits annually. That's the equivalent of an eye injury every 780 seconds! Eye Care professionals agree that the vast majority of those damage could be simply avoided by using protective eyewear. The majority of eye damaging accidents occur when adults and children are enjoying recreational activities or working at the house. Children are especially prone to eye injuries, which often occur during active play.

If your children are involved in active sport, you should be sure they wear protective glasses while on the field. Protective eyewear is made in an impressive selection of designs and shapes so allow your child to choose a pair they love to enhance the chances they will wear them.

To ensure you purchase safety glasses wisely, consult with a qualified eye care professional for suggestions. Our staff members are happy to help you in buying the best pair of glasses for your child, based on your child's particular needs. If your child wears glasses, safety glasses can be purchased with prescription lenses from your vision care provider. Ask about trivex or polycarbonate lenses if your child engages in rough sports. They are not only more durable, but also more light-weight than standard lenses, which tends to be less obtrusive during sports.

Be informed when purchasing a pair of protective goggles. It's worth it when it comes to protecting your child's sight!
