Safe Safety Glasses

Safety glasses and goggles are also available for children as well as adults

Safety glasses are also available for children. They include the wrap around design for safety when participating in paintball games and shooting BB guns. However, if your child plays sports, such as baseball, a properly fitted sports goggle with polycarbonate lenses should be worn. A sports goggle can be fitted to wear with or without safety glasses.

The regular eyeglass frames will not provide proper protection from large objects such as baseballs. You should consult with an eye care professional before purchasing a sports goggle. A sports goggle should have a large vertical eye opening. If an impact should occur and the goggles are pushed toward the face, a large eye opening keeps the impact points above and below the eyes. Whereas with a small opening, the goggle hits right at the edge of the eye socket, which can damage the globe of the eye.
