Sports eyewear

Wearing glasses can be a bit of a pain when playing certain sports. In the hustle and bustle of the game they can easily be knocked off, pulled off, lost or broken. Take them off to play and you’re handing a big advantage to your opponent, not to mention diminishing your own enjoyment of your sport.

So what’s the answer? Read on...
