Since many sports, such as Golf, are played outdoors, excellent quality sunglasses, which filter UV light, and provide clear, un-distorted vision are quite important. Dress wear glasses are never recommended during these highly physical sports activities. Contact lenses are the best choice, followed by sports frames which contain highly impact resistant lenses. Members include team coaches, athletic trainers, Optometrists, Ophthalmologists, Opticians, Researchers and College Educators. Good vision which helps to provide the best depth perception is a must.
Peripheral awareness is extremely important.
Making a head movement, to see a player who is off to the side, is an extremely inefficient way gain visual information. Therefore, contact lenses are more desirable as they provide full peripheral vision. Dress wear glasses are never recommended in any circumstances during sports. If contacts are not pos sible, then a sports frame with polycarbonate lenses will greatly help to minimize the risk of eye injury during games and practice. Basketball has the highest incidence of eye injuries amongst any sport.
