Protective Sports Eyewear: Glasses & Goggles
Prescription sports glasses are tailored eyeglasses designed for athletes with vision corrections. They combine vision correction with protective features, offering the clarity needed to excel in sports while shielding the eyes from potential impact or debris. Sport glasses are an excellent choice for sports such as baseball, cycling, and hockey.
Prescription sports goggles are impact-resistant goggles that cater to athletes requiring vision correction. These goggles not only correct refractive errors but also provide superior eye protection, preventing eye injuries during high-impact sports or outdoor activities. Sports goggles are the best choice for sports such as racquetball, squash, basketball, swimming, and skiing/snowboarding.

The Canadian Safety Association.
CSA Standard Z94.3 For Protective Eyewear
The Canadian Safety Association (CSA) is a standards organization with the mission to enhance the lives of Canadians with the advancement of safety standards in the public and private sectors through research, development, education, and advocacy. The Z94.3 standard relates to Eye and Face Protector’s compliance for industrial and educational processes. Hazards covered by this standard include, flying particles / objects, heat sparks, chemical splashes, molten metal, airborne droplets, and visible and infrared radiation. For any prescription safety glasses to meet CSA Safety Standards, they must meet exact criteria for which materials can be used and how they are manufactured. They must also be sufficiently thick to pass the Impact Resistance Test, consisting of a 46-gram steel ball hitting the lens surface at an impact velocity of 46 meters per second.
