Is everything a blur when you play soccer or snorkel? Investing in a pair of prescription goggles may make your favorite activity much more enjoyable.
What are Prescription Goggles?
Participating in a sport or activity isn't always so comfortable when you wear glasses. Your eyewear may slip constantly, or the lenses might fog up just as you're about to make a crucial play. Although contacts can offer a good solution in some cases, they aren't always the best choice either. If you scuba dive, snorkel or swim in your contact lenses, you may be at risk of developing an infection if waterborne bacteria becomes trapped between the lenses and your eyes.
Prescription goggles provide a better option. The eyewear features lenses that not only contain your exact prescription, but are designed to endure blows without shattering. Prescription goggles offer these important features:
Who Should Wear Prescription Goggles?
Prescription goggles are a good idea for anyone who normally wears contacts or glasses, no matter what their age. They can help younger children feel more comfortable on the playing field and enhance their performance, but also offer important benefits for adults. Although prescription goggles may have been big and bulky in the past, today's models are lightweight and attractive. Prescription sports eyewear is recommended if you play or participate in:
Prescription goggles may also be helpful if you work in construction, landscaping or another field in which flying debris is a problem. Goggles sold in home improvement stores usually aren't very comfortable when worn over prescription glasses and tend to fog easily. Whether you're a seasoned contractor or an avid do-it-yourselfer, you may want to consider purchasing goggles to protect your eyes.
Where Can I Get Prescription Goggles?
You can choose a pair of prescription goggles during your next visit to the eye doctor. Although goggles are available online, all manufacturers don't offer the ability to add your precise prescription to your eyewear or correct astigmatism. Your eye doctor will help you find the best type of goggles for your sport and ensure that the prescription offers the optimum correction for your vision.
When you need prescription goggles, standard glasses or contact lenses, we're here to help. Call us to schedule an appointment for your next eye exam.
