Why Sports Eyewear?

As mentioned above, more than 40,000 sports-related eye injuries occur each year that could have been completely avoided with the proper protection! Protective sports eyewear such as wraparound frames or goggles can reduce and even eliminate a patient’s risk of eye damage. Many patients even report an added performance boost due to the enhanced, high-quality vision provided by our sports eyewear.

In many sports clubs, sports eyewear is actually no longer even recommended but is mandated in most cases. Although many children are opposed to goggles, just like bike helmets, they are an essential part of ensuring your little one’s eyes and vision are as protected as possible. Through time, sports eyewear is becoming more common and is starting to be more accepted as part of a sports uniform.

About Sports Eye Gear

Although sports eyewear looks quite similar to regular eyeglasses, they typically don’t have the same characteristics. Sports eyewear is specialized to suit the specific needs of each patient and the sport(s) they partake in. Many styles of eyewear are actually designed to fit into specific helmets which are worn during sports such as football, hockey or even baseball.

At Thornhill Vision Care, most of our protective lenses are designed using polycarbonate which is an impact-resistant, durable and UV protective material. Polycarbonate lenses are also highly scratch-resistant, making them a great choice for rough sports.
