Teens grow fast.  They need vision exams every year to keep their vision crisp and clear for school and driving.

If your teen plays sports, they need vision protection.  We have some really cool sports goggles they'll love to wear!

Eye protection should be a major concern to all student athletes, especially in certain high-risk sports. Thousands of children suffer sports-related eye injuries each year and nearly all can be prevented by using the proper protective eyewear.  Eye protection should also be worn for other risky activities such as lawn mowing and trimming.

Regular prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses are not a substitute for appropriate, well-fitted protective eyewear. Athletes need to use sports eyewear that is tailored to protect the eyes while playing the specific sport.

It is also important for all children to protect their eyes from damage caused by ultraviolet radiation in sunlight. Sunglasses are needed to protect the eyes outdoors and some sport-specific designs may even help improve sports performance.

Polarized sunglasses make driving safer by cutting glare.

Teens like the trendy styles their friends are wearing.  Frames that are small, bold, and striking are what teens are wearing now.

How old do you have to be to wear contact lenses?

The young teenage years are when many kids are ready for their first contact lenses.  

Contacts give kids confidence.  They can also be helpful to wear under protective eyewear for sports.
