April marks Sports Eye Safety Month—a time to raise awareness about the importance of protecting our eyes during sports and recreational activities. At Zenni, we prioritize eye safety, which is why we offer a range of protective eyewear designed to meet ASTM standards and keep your eyes safe while you play.
What are ASTM Standards?
ASTM International is an organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for various materials, products, systems, and services. ASTM F803 refers specifically to protective eyewear standards for sports. This standard is the strictest when it comes to ensuring the safety of protective eyewear, requiring glasses to pass high-velocity impact resistance tests, as well as tests for clarity and strength of lenses.
Why is Eye Protection Important During Sports?
Sports and recreational activities are responsible for thousands of eye injuries each year. However, approximately 90% of these injuries could be prevented by wearing appropriate eye protection, such as eyewear that meets ASTM F803 standards. Protecting your eyes during sports not only prevents injuries but also allows you to enjoy your activities with confidence and peace of mind.
How to Identify Eyewear Meeting ASTM Standards
All of our ASTM-tested goggles are labeled as “Sport Protective.” The compliance standards and the sports for which the product has been tested are outlined on the product description page and the accompanying insert card shipped with the goggles. Our protective eyewear features impact-resistant lenses made of polycarbonate or Trivex, ensuring durability and safety during sports activities.
Which Sports Can Utilize Protective Goggles?
Our Sport Protective Goggles 7435, 7434, and 7433 meet and exceed ASTM F803-19 standards for several sports, including basketball, soccer, badminton, and handball. Additionally, they are suitable for outdoor activities such as cycling, skating, and running. Whether you’re an active youth or an adult in need of extra protection, our goggles offer the strength, and safety required for various activities.
Prescription Options Available
Worried about your vision while playing sports? No problem! Our Sport Protective Goggles can accommodate most prescriptions, ensuring clear vision and optimal eye protection for athletes of all ages and visual needs.
