The Best Children’s Sports Glasses for Basketball

In this day and age, parents and guardians are well informed and well aware of the physical risks of sports. They know the value of providing their children with sports-specific safety gear especially designed to avoid injury over both the short and long term. For basketball, such safety equipment includes knee pads, elbow pads, support braces, and chin and mouth guards.

There is, however, another area of the body that is always at risk and prone to injury when a child engages in a contact sport like basketball: the eyes. Too often this area is overlooked and left unguarded. Collisions with the ball, the ground, other players, and/or objects surrounding the court can lead to devastating and sometimes irreversible eye damage. For this reason, many school and sports programs have designated appropriate sports eyewear as mandatory safety equipment.

If your child wears corrective eyewear, you may expect prescription safety glasses or goggles to be expensive and hard-to-acquire items. They are not, of course, off-the-shelf items like standard safety glasses; they need to be manufactured with your child’s exact prescription, just as one would order a pair of prescription eyeglasses. The prices you’ve been quoted for this service at the local sports equipment store have probably been daunting.

The process of obtaining quality children’s basketball safety glasses does not, however, need to be complicated nor expensive. At Myeyewear2go, we carry several models of sports goggles at affordable prices and a full-range optical lab that can generate any prescription your child may require. Ordering is easy. Select the model of your choice, fill in the online form with the pertinent details of your child’s prescription, and your custom glasses will be mailed to your door. If unsure of the prescription you can contact the optometrist who performed your child’s last vision exam, and if you have any questions about how to fill out our form, feel free to contact us. We’re happy to offer direction and speed you through the process.
