Prescription safety and sports glasses are designed to protect your eyes and improve performance. Without safety and sports glasses, your chances of serious eye injuries increase, and factors such as glare, brightness, and water can obstruct your view.
At Doig Optometry, we supply various types of prescription safety eyewear for racket sports, water sports, and shooting. Our recommendations for safety and sports glasses are always made on the basis of ensuring the safety of our clients and enhancing their clarity of vision. Our safety and sports glasses come with:
- Patient Care Priority® Recommendations for your specific use
- Quality frames
- Customized and Personalized Prescription lenses.
- Affordable non prescription lenses when appropriate
- Appropriate tints and coatings for visual comfort and to protect your lenses.
Safety and sports glasses offer protection against physical impact, chemicals, and other hazards while providing corrective vision. If you need safety or sports glasses, we can help.
The Benefits of Safety & Sport Glasses
Safety and sports glasses are made of resilient and strong polycarbonate, a thermoplastic that was first developed in the 1970s for aerospace applications. Polycarbonate is made through a process called injection moulding. The solid material starts as small pellets that are then melted under heat and injected into lens moulds. The lenses are compressed under high pressure and cooled to form a lightweight, impact-resistant lens.
Safety and sports glasses:
- Improve your vision on the court, field, range, or in the workplace
- Protects your eyes against serious injury
- Can fit both prescription and nonprescription lenses
- Are designed to be comfortable and reliable as you move, run, or swim
- Come with the option of rubber or silicone padding for extra cushion where the frame touches the head and nose
- Can come with UV protection or anti-reflective coating
Protect Your Vision With Safety & Sports Eyewear
Different sports require different types of frames. At Doig Optometry, our knowledgeable staff can help guide you to choose the right frames that are comfortable and safe. Whether you are an avid tennis player or skier, we have a solution for you.
Prescription Eyewear For Racquet Sports - These frames are designed to provide eye protection without interfering with the player’s peripheral vision while on the court. Specialty lenses for tennis players are a popular option to intensify the colour of the tennis ball with innovative lens tints, making it easier to track the ball and enhance performance.
Prescription Eyewear For Swimming - Over time, extended exposure to chlorine can damage the outer eye without the proper protective eye gear. Prescription goggles are available for swimmers looking to improve their visual clarity. Air-tight nonprescription goggles are available for swimmers who don’t need glasses or who choose to wear contact lenses underwater.
Prescription Eyewear For Scuba Diving And Other Water Sports - Wind, UV rays, and saltwater are just a few of the natural elements that outdoor water sports enthusiasts are exposed to. For this, prescription eyewear is available with polarized lenses to reduce glare and eliminate harmful UV rays from entering the eyes. Impact-resistant polycarbonate goggles prevent lenses from shattering, reducing the risk of eye injury.
Prescription Eyewear For Hunting, Shooting, And Archery - Outdoor conditions in heavily wooded areas require special lens tints for different conditions. Yellow or orange tints are ideal for overcast conditions to improve contrast while brown or grey tints filter sunlight on bright days. For Hunters, Doig Optometry is a distributor of Decot Brand Sport Glasses for safety protection and custom tints for shooting, including Decot’s contrast enhancing “Color Mag” lenses.
