Eighty percent of perceptual input comes from the eyes during a sporting activity, according to International Sports Vision Association.
For both the casual and professional athlete, good vision is key in maximizing sports performance. Wearing the right protective eyewear is equally important. Let’s take a look at vision and sports performance and how active eyewear factors into the equation.
Roughly 194 million Americans and over 1.4 billion people worldwide wear glasses or contact lenses, according to The Vision Council. It’s estimated 75% of adults currently require, or will require, vision correction at some point in their lives.

As a result, images often become blurred, distorted, and out of focus while also contributing to physical discomforts including headaches, double vision, and eye strain.
