Seeing sport clearly

Where sport is involved, you need the right tools to get the score up and the job done – and that includes having the right eyewear to help you see clearly and stay safe.

Whether it’s the amateur league or champions league, Miniroos or Matildas, first-time swim lessons or a personal best lap of the pool, having clear vision is one of the most underrated advantages any sports person can have.

For centuries, athletes were only as good as their vision. Now with specifically designed eyewear to not only protect our eyes from sports-related injuries, but enhance vision and mobility, athletes from all walks of life are seen with eyewear to suit their sport. With eyewear in sports becoming more common, the risk of eye damage is reduced while the athlete’s performance is enhanced; meaning there’s less time on the bench and more time to get swinging, kicking, throwing, and enjoying sport! Wearing protective eyewear creates a clear, sharp vision for performance and can also help with outdoor activity like running or cycling, especially when it rains or the sun shines bright.

For some of us, it’s not as much about protecting our eyes during sport, but allowing us to see clearly while exercising or competing. Specially designed sports sunglasses from brands such as Bolle and Oakley can be prescribed especially to your needs, not only protecting your eyes from the sun, but also allowing you to see clearly while cycling, running, fishing, playing golf or tennis.

Prescription swimming goggles or dive masks are allowing swimmers and divers everywhere to see clearly underwater. Designed to be comfortable with high impact resistant materials and to fit to your face, so you can focus more on getting to the end of the pool, and less on adjusting your eyewear.

Whether you’re looking to protect your eyes during sport, or you require prescription lenses while being active, Optical by National Pharmacies, has the right eyewear for your sports and vision needs. Carrying a range of swimming goggles and dive masks, sports sunglasses and contact lenses to suit your prescription, you’ll be seeing clearly and playing well in no time.
