Rec Specs has been the leader in the growing national
movement promoting eye safety during scholastic and recreational sports.
Introduced in 1978 as the first Rx-able protective sports eyewear, today
over 20,000 eyecare professionals in the USA and the world, rely on Rec
Specs when it comes to providing the best possible protective sports eyewear
to both children and adults.
The impact of a ball or other equipment as
well as an opponent's hands and elbows pose a threat to an athlete's visual
safety. According to a 2001 report by Prevent Blindness of America, there are
approximately over 38,000
sports-related eye injuries requiring costly emergency
room care. This number could potentially skyrocket when you consider the
treatment of eye injuries in a private practitioners office. As sports
participation statistics continue to climb, and newly identified "extreme"
sports gain in popularity, the number of athletes who fall victim to eye
injuries has the potential to grow at alarming rates. School-aged
competitors are particularly prone to eye injuries since their athletic
skills (hand-eye coordination, balance, reaction time, and speed) are still
being developed. However, regardless of an individual's age or skill level,
every athlete's eyes are targets for injury. Under most circumstances, at
least 90% of sports-related eye injuries are preventable with the proper use
of protective sports eyewear.
Rec Specs is the world's leading brand of high quality protective eyewear
designed specifically for sporting applications. Most Rec Specs are tested to
withstand the ASTM F803 impact resistant standards for racquetball, basketball,
handball, squash, paddleball, and tennis when fitted with 3 mm polycarbonate
lenses. Other Rec Specs designs provide use during activities in the water for
things like swimming and jet skiing: to winter sports like skiing and
snowboarding. Please refer to our descriptions below to find the correct model
for you and the standards for the particular sport it is approved for.
“WARNING”
Although Rec Specs sports eyewear is intended to offer the
best protection available, there is always the possibility that the wearer may
sustain an eye or facial injury due to severe impact or because of the nature of
the athletic activity. If the eye protector incurs a severe impact or is
neglected or misused, the degree of eye protection provided may be reduced. In
any case, the frame must be replaced. Failure to do so may result in permanent
eye injury.
THE DESIGNER, DISPENSER (A Sight for Sport Eyes), MANUFACTURER, AND LIBERTY
OPTICAL MFG. CO. INC. DO NOT CLAIM THAT REC SPECS SPORTS EYEWEAR IS UNBREAKABLE
OR ELIMINATES THE POSSIBILITY OF EYE OR FACIAL INJURY.
