Health Tip: Invest in Protective Eyewear for Sports
03/07/13
(HealthDay News) -- Wearing protective eye gear when playing
sports can help prevent serious eye injuries.
The Cleveland Clinic lists these guidelines when selecting
protective eyewear:
- Buy your eye guards at an optical store or sports store, and
make sure someone familiar with your eyes and the sport you play
fits you for the guards.
- Make sure your eyewear comes with the correct lenses, which
should be held securely in place.
- Purchase eye guards that offer cushion or padding along the
bridge of the nose and eyebrows to avoid cuts or damage to the
face.
