Prevent Sports Eye Injuries |
|
Every 13 minutes a sports related eye
injury visits an ER |
|
More than 100,000 sports/recreation
eye injuries occur each year |
|
Over 90% of eye injuries can be prevented with
protective eyewear |
|
|
Rec Specs has been the leader in the growing
national movement promoting eye safety during scholastic and
recreational sports.
Introduced in 1978 as the first prescription protective sports
eyewear, we rely on Rec Specs when it comes to providing the
best possible protective sports eyewear to both children and
adults.
Rec Specs is the first protective sport eyewear
to receive the AOA seal of approval |
|

resistance standards for racquetball, handball, tennis,
basketball, squash, soccer and paddleball, and many more
ball/stick sports. Polycarbonate UV 400 lenses. |
Regardless of an individual's age or skill level, every
athlete's eyes are targets for injury! Under most
circumstances,
at least 90% of sports-related eye
injuries are preventable with the proper use of
protective sports eyewear. |
|
The impact of a ball or other equipment as well as
an opponent's hands and elbows pose a threat to an
athlete's visual safety. According to a 2001 report by
Prevent Blindness of America, there are over 38,000
sports-related eye injuries requiring costly emergency
room care.
This number could potentially skyrocket when you
consider the treatment of eye injuries in a private
practitioner's office.
As sports participation statistics continue to climb,
and newly identified "extreme" sports gain in
popularity, the number of athletes who fall victim to
eye injuries has the potential to grow at alarming
rates.
School-aged competitors are particularly prone to eye
injuries since their athletic skills (hand-eye
coordination, balance, reaction time and speed) are
still being developed.
We are committed to educating you on the performance differences between fashion
eyeglasses and protective sports eyewear that is
designed to prevent eye injuries. |
Protective Sports Eyewear are
eyeglass frames or goggles specifically designed
and manufactured to meet or exceed the
appropriate US impact protection standards. All
protective sport eyewear must also have
polycarbonate lenses designed to withstand
impact. |
