Time for Sport

July 2nd, 2011

The balance between protecting your eyes and giving 110% on the sports field is made easier if you invest wisely.

If you are swimming you will need protection from microbes that live in the water. A good set of prescription goggles makes an amazing difference to your under-water experience.

Sports related eye injuries can range from a scratch on the cornea, bruising of the eyelid, to internal eye injuries and in severe cases, eye loss.  Many of these injuries can lead to vision loss and permanent blindness, therefore the use of protective eye-wear is very important.

High speed ball games from football, to squash or cricket, water team-sports, projectile sports, such as hunting and shooting are all high risk eye-injury activities.

We have the full range of sports related protective eye-wear to fit your needs.

Call us and let us help you to choose the best solution.

Do you have blurry vision when swimming ?

June 20th, 2010
  • Are you having trouble seeing the clock or the other side of the pool when you go swimming?
  • Contact lenses shouldn’t be used in water, as bacteria in the water can stick to the lens giving you very bad eye infections.
  • Prescription swimming goggles are a great idea for swimming.

  • We stock ready-made ones with the same prescription in both eyes.  These can be a great help for those who find it frustrating not being able to see in the pool.
  • They’re particularly useful when swimming with children, meaning you can keep a close eye on them to make sure they’re safe.
  • Goggles can also be made to order for those with unusual prescriptions.

Try them out for yourself… you’ll be surprised how much more enjoyable swimming will be!
