Patient Education on Specialty Eyewear Options

According to a study by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, 77 percent of victims of eye injuries were not wearing eyewear when the injury occurred. In addition to protecting your eyes, specialty eyewear can also improve your visual acuity during activities. Common types of specialty eyewear include: 

  • Diving Masks 
  • Performance Eyewear 
  • Protective Eyewear for Sports 
  • Protective Eyewear for Work 
  • Safety Glasses/Goggles 
  • Shooting Glasses 
  • Ski Goggles 
  • Sport Sunglasses 
  • Swimming Goggles 
  • Teens Sports Eyewear

If you participate in any type of sports, work in an industrial field, or even do work around your home, you should use specialty eyewear. This eyewear can have lenses with or without a prescription. To learn more about specialty eyewear and what type is right for you, talk to your eye doctor.
