Space Center Eye Associates Alerts Patients to the Need for Sports Vision Safety

HOUSTON, March 27, 2016 -- Proper eyewear for amateurs and athletes improves performance and safeguards eye health, reports Space Center Eye Associates. With the spring sports season rapidly approaching, protective lenses and corrective eyewear is necessary to keep patients in the game longer and provide the corrected vision necessary for peak performance. Specialty corrective and polarized lenses, tints and more allow sport participants to enjoy the experience without undue stress on the eye and related structures. Patients can avail themselves of such supportive eyewear and learn more about sports vision safety at Space Center Eye Associates.

As reported in numerous studies, excessive blue light can lead to eye strain, discomfort, and even permanent damage. Blue light can be found in the natural spectrum outdoors and sport participants can suffer from vision abnormalities and headaches from overexposure. Tinted, polarized and protective lenses and eyewear can assist individuals in comfortably enjoying their sport without the eye strain and pain that can impact athletic performance. In fact, protective eyewear is a must for children and adults as every 13 minutes sees a sports-related eye-injury in U.S. emergency rooms. Space Center Eye Associates offer vision correction for athletes, sports vision prescription and protective glasses, specialty tints for certain sports including golf and baseball, polarized lenses and UV protective contact lenses.

“We care about our patients and their eye health,” said Dr. Keith Manuel. “That is why we want to inform them to take the recommended precautions to maintain their eye health and prevent excessive strain while engaging in sport activities. Tinted and corrective eyewear designed for athletic performance assists patients with preventing additional vision issues and reducing long-term effects of eye strain. Good vision is easier to maintain than to recover and in my experience, it is best to reduce unnecessary wear and tear on the fragile structures of the eye. It is thoroughly possible to continue to enjoy a beloved sport and experience improved performance with the use of specialized eyewear. Patients can have fewer headaches, experience better vision during long performances, and prevent serious injury with a few precautionary steps.”

Dr. Keith Manuel and Dr. Beth Robinson offer optometry services to the communities of Houston and Clear Lake with state of the art technology and a depth of knowledge on eye care disease and treatment. Patients benefit from a combination of experience, compassion and the latest techniques for diagnosis and treatment at this friendly Houston eye care center. Staff focuses on the medical aspects of eye care, educates and help patients manage any eye care issue. Patients attest to the reliable and compassionate care that they receive at Space Center Eye Associates.
