Safety Eyewear for Children


Studies show that eye injuries account for 40,000 trips to the emergency room annually. That's equal to an injury every 780 seconds! Eye Care professionals believe that 90% of those damage would have been easily prevented by wearing protective eyewear. The majority of eye damaging accidents take place when individuals are enjoying recreational activities or during household chores. Children are particularly at risk for eye accidents, which often happen during active play.


Children should guard their eyes with safety glasses during all team and contact sports such as baseball, soccer and hockey. This will significantly reduce the likelihood of a sports related eye accident. Allowing your child to select the protective glasses they like best will also increase the likelihood that they will enjoy wearing them.


To ensure you get the appropriate fit and the correct amount of safety, speak to a qualified optician for advice. Our staff members can assist you in purchasing the best pair of protective eyewear for your child, depending on your child's particular needs. If your child wears glasses, safety glasses can be purchased with prescription lenses from your eye care center. Trivex or polylcarbonate lenses are recommended for a child that plays rough sports . Not only are they more durable, but also lighter than plastic lenses, which tends to be less obtrusive during activity.


Don't skimp when buying a pair of protective goggles. It's an easy way to safeguard your child's vision!
