SAFTEY / SPORTS VISION

We wear seatbelts when driving or riding in an automobile, we wear helmets when riding or driving bicycles or motorcycles, and we wear sunscreen to protect our skin from harmful sun rays. So it just makes good sense to protect our eyes from any possible injury.

With more than 35,000 sports related eye injuries each year, protective eyewear should be worn when participating in sports activities. Under most circumstances, at least 90% of sports-related eye injuries are preventable with the proper use of protective sports eyewear.

Longview Eye Associates offers a line of protective sports eyewear from RecSpecs, and our optical staff can help you select the most appropriate protective eyewear for your particular sports activity. Whether it's basketball, baseball, racquet sports, biking, football, soccer, or any other active sport, you should always wear protective eyewear. Remember, when it comes to your eyes, there is no spare pair!
