Eye protection in sports is extremely important. For goalies in the sport of hockey, where brave goaltenders face a veritable fusillade of slapshots and one-timers, eye protection is especially important. Rubber pucks traveling upwards of 100 miles per hour elevate off the surface of the ice and fly towards the faces of these goalies.

Laser vision correction can improve your golf game by giving you freedom from eyeglasses and contacts.

As any scuba diver or snorkeler will surely tell you, underwater vision can be a fascinating and rewarding experience. The reason why your unaided vision goes blurry underwater requires a basic discussion of the behaviour of light rays and the human eye.

Contact sports are risky, and not being able to see clearly makes them even riskier.

Sports can feel like a distant dream if you wear eyeglasses or contacts. For team sports such as football or rugby, the National Eye Institute recommends that you wear eye protection in addition to glasses or contacts, which often feel awkward and cumbersome.
