Sports safety equipment and gear may sometimes look a little bit odd or unfashionable, but using the right protective safety gear for your sport is essential for preventing serious injuries or reducing the severity of an injury you may receive. After all, the point of a sport is to actually enjoy participating, and getting injured can keep you off the playing field for weeks or more.
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, more than ninety percent of all sports-related eye injuries can be prevented with the use of appropriate protective eyewear. This advice definitely applies to athletes or anyone who participates in sports.
