Athletes, Don’t Forget to Protect Your Eyes!

Prepare the Family for Sports Eye Safety Month
As the cold of winter starts to slip away, many welcome the warm sunshine of spring and summer with open arms and more time spent outside. As more individuals start to head outdoors, athletic events start to pop up in schools and leagues around the community. Sports are a great way to stay in shape and have some fun, but participation can also lead to injuries. The month of April has been designated as Sports Eye Safety Month by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, and you can ensure you are supporting eye safety with prescription sports glasses.
The Need for Eyewear for Everyone
There are tens of thousands of eye injuries that happen each year as a direct result of sports activities. For almost 90% of these injuries, prescription glasses designed for use during exercise, outdoor hobbies or other athletic activities can be a preventative.
