Prescription Safety Glasses for Families & Big Companies

Eye Safety is Everyone’s Concern, and Adamstown Eye Care is in the forefront of eye protection for everyone from little kids to big companies!

We have prescription and non-prescription eye protection for a wide variety of activities and occupations. Our range of options includes smarter choices for anything from dress eyewear, to contacts and sports eyewear, all the way up to industrial-strength impact-resistant safety glasses.

Safe Sport Glasses for Active Kids & Adults

There are new lens materials that are safer and more likely to protect the wearer due to their ability to resist shattering. To reduce the risk of injury even more, highly active patients should chose frames with a full rim that that goes all the way around the lens. Frames that don’t go all the way around the lens can break more easily. Full rim frame styles are safer for kids or anyone in unexpected situations where lenses are more likely to dislodge. We are sometimes asked, “When is the right time to wear rimless glasses.” The answer isn’t easy. It depends on the activities and situations someone faces, and how responsible they are with their own safety. Children are often in the company of other highly active kids and more likely to face hazardous situations. Adults and those that are less active, on the other hand, can often wear thinner and more fragile glasses more safely.

When To Consider Contact Lenses for Sports

To reduce the risk of eye injury and maximize vision performance. Contacts provide a more natural form of vision correction that reduces the perceptual problems associated with eyeglasses. Contacts are also safer in another respect because they’re unlikely to shatter or break near the eyes like glasses.

How To Be Safe When Wearing Contacts Isn’t an Option

Protecting the better seeing eye against any injury should always be the first concern. For this reason, safer and more resilient lens materials like polycarbonate and Trivex are recommended. Patients with vision in one eye should be certain to wear proper protective eyewear in risky situations, even if they normally don’t wear glasses at all.

Sport goggles are designed for durability and protection, and are available in many styles, colors and prescriptions. Sport goggles provide better protection for the athlete in situations where delicate dress eyeglasses could more easily break, injuring eyes and surrounding areas.

Sports eye injuries happen a lot more than most people think, and the results are often tragic. Shooting, motorcycling, golf, racket sports and other fast-paced activities with small moving objects are the situations most likely to injure the participant. Don’t rely on your delicate dress eyeglasses to handle the rough stuff. We have frame and lens combinations specifically designed for these purposes and many other types for a wide variety of uses.

Customer Testimonial

I was a patient for many years before moving away. I always appreciated the superb care and professionalism shown by all. I recently returned as a patient and was pleasantly reminded of the extra special care shown by all.
