You might have knee pads and helmets in mind, but Allied Eye wants to make sure you’re sending your athlete out onto the field with one other thing this sports season—protective eye gear!
Where Are Your Safety Glasses?
When purchasing eye gear for sports, make sure it fits properly. Choose goggles or eye protection that has cushioning near the eyebrows and nose so that it’s comfortable to wear. You don’t want your child to be adjusting eye gear when a ball is headed his or her way.
Even if your child doesn’t already wear reading or eye glasses, you should still purchase eye guards to help prevent a cut or scratch from occurring on the face close to the eyes. Plus, the UV rays from the sun can damage the eyes more than you realize, and the protective eye gear can help keep vision safe from the sun, too!
Did your child catch a ball or elbow to the eye? Visit Allied Eye to ensure his or her vision or eye health was not affected by the injury.
