Children’s participation in sports is on the rise these days—as is the occurrence of sports-related eye injuries. Fortunately, the majority of eye injuries are avoidable by wearing protective eyewear. Sports glasses typically feature a full, wraparound design or goggle shape in plastic or polycarbonate with strategically placed padding and impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses. Additionally, It’s important for all children to shield their eyes from damage caused by harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.
