Sports Vision
Though enjoyable, engaging in sports means our eyes are more vulnerable than normal. This is why Eyesite Eyecare Centres offers high quality sports eyewear in a variety of sports in a bid to promote safety and comfort in sports.
Today, Sports eyewear has come a long way; not only does it protect our eyes but it also increases performance and can even look stylish! However, it must be emphasised that sports eyewear is not a fashion accessory. Protection is required from impact, UV radiation/glare and other environmental irritants. Safety awareness must start young, so that all athletes at whatever level wear sports eyewear to ensure the safety of their vision.
Have a look at the list of the sports we cater for and see if we can offer you the sports eyewear you require. If you can't find something you need contact us to see if we can help you, alternatively make a booking for a Sports Eyewear Appointment!
Walking/Running
Running and Walking is a very popular leisure activity enjoyed by a large majority of the UK. However, a lot of the time people don’t use protective eyewear to protect their eyes. Our eyes can be under risk from UV rays, dirt, wind, insects and other irritants in the atmosphere. Eyesite provides protective eyewear such as sports sunglasses which can have interchangeable lenses for differing light conditions and curved lenses that provide a wide field of vision. The eyewear we stock also protects against environmental irritants and is made ergonomic and head hugging for maximum comfort.
Our polarizing lenses allow you to see below the surface of the water whist fishing, and greatly reduce glare caused by light reflecting from the surface. Available in a range of colours and suitable for a large range of frames, these lenses will offer improved clarity, UV protection, and comfort.
Swimming
Whether you’re planning a diving holiday, or just enjoy swimming at your local pool, a full range of goggles and masks is available to help you enjoy your time in the water. With appliances suitable for diving, snorkeling, and all types of swimming, the range is designed to incorporate full prescription correction.
Cycling
High contrast lenses to improve definition in poor light, polarizing lenses to reduce road glare, or light adaptable lenses for the perfect protection whatever the weather, these sunglasses can seriously improve your visual comfort. Combine them with a close fitting frame to protect your eyes from wind and insects.
Football
A stray finger or ball are the main cause of injury when playing football. Eyesite provides goggle frames which hug your face to protect you from all oncoming objects, big or small. We have ensured that the frames and lenses are polycarbon to be able to resist the impact for safety. Prescription lenses can be specifically made, so there is no need to worry about wearing contact lenses underneath.
Golf
If you’re looking for a pair of sunglasses that will help define the contours of the green, or improve the contrast as you track the ball, our golf range is specifically designed with you in mind. Available in both full and graduated options, in a range of colours.
Squash
With squash balls can traveling at speeds of up to 200kph, protecting your eyes from injury is of the highest importance. Squash goggles dramatically reduce the chance of serious injury, and are made from the latest high-impact materials. Please note that under the rules of International Doubles Squash protective eyewear manufactured to an appropriate National Safety Standard must be worn properly over the eyes at all times during play. In single play juniors (19 and under) must wear appropriate eyewear when playing in any tournament.
Tennis
Improve the contrast of the ball against the court with a lens which increases visibility of the ball by muting colours that aren’t yellow. Combined with glare reducing coatings, and high levels of impact resistance, these lenses can only help your performance.
Cricket
Glare can seriously affect your performance, so choose sunglasses with an impact resistant, polarizing filter to improve clarity and reduce squinting against bright light. Our polarizing, light adaptable lenses are perfect for a variety of sunny conditions, or choose a high contrast lens for overcast days.
Shooting
Shooting is a very high risk sporting activity, of which mistakes could mean dangerous consequences. Eyesite offers protective eyewear with prescription adjustments and safety from debris or elements in the environment. With these features we can ensure greater safety along with the added benefit of improved performance!
Skiing
Most eye injuries in skiing occur because the wrong kind of eye protection was worn or none was worn at all. It is essential that the eyes are adequately protected which is why we offer polycarbonate lenses which won’t shatter on impact or due to the cold. Some goggles also have other features such as anti-fog-flow ventilation, 100% UV filtering and antireflective coatings. All of which enable you to see contours of the snow a lot better thus increasing performance. Eyesite can ensure the goggles fit your prescription so there is no need to wear glasses or contact lenses as well.
