With summer finally arriving (we hope), we would like to remind everyone of some of the less thought about items that we have to offer for people who wear prescription eyewear – especially the activity-specific options which are available from both our Cochrane and Crowfoot locations.
First, let us talk about the sport specific frames that we have. These frames are available for both children and adults and make a great alternative to wearing normal prescription eyeglasses during sports that would normally put your eyes in danger. Being specifically designed for sport use these frames can withstand impact of a ball straight to the face (soccer), be worn under a helmet (football or hockey) or just stay on during rigorous activity providing you with protection and the correct prescription. Specially designed edges and lenses made from the latest materials mean you never need to worry about a direct impact resulting in damage to your eyes or broken lenses. We highly recommend these for people who are actively engaged in sports and are looking for a more appropriate option to replace their normal eyeglasses.
