Best sports glasses required for the player on the field. Safety glasses through ANSI testing. Testing the glasses here goes through ASTM testing. So the two brands for the best sports goggles for the people who actually need these for protection. There is no other brand better than rec specs and liberty sport.

All the glasses you see here meet the requirements for basketball, soccer, lacrosse, football, racquetball, handball anything and everything except for baseball. The reason why they don't cover a baseball is that it's a much bigger ball coming at you at a much faster speed. They are still actively doing testing on these however they haven't got the right specs for it yet.

RS 50 is an old-school style of glasses. They are basically glasses but they do come with a strap in the back to make sure they stay on. So if you are looking for more of a glasses feel. These are the glasses for someone like you playing tennis or racquetball. It is a super lightweight cushion nose pad.

All these glasses are prescription and can be RX-able and if you want a sunglass tint or a transition tint you can get these in these glasses. The main takeaway from these glasses is that they are ASTM rated. So again you can wear these for tennis where you can take on and off the adjustable strap so they turn into regular glasses. So if you don't want the strap if you don't like the strap you can still wear as regular glasses.

The Challengers are a pair of traditional glasses. You can get these with an extra pair of cushions like a cushion pad that goes over your temple. So in case, a ball hits it, it will absorb it and the cushion will not hit your head and it won't be impactful and won't hurt.

Eye Movement Dysfunction

The rotational movements of intorsion and extorsion are necessary to keep a viewed object stable and positioned on the appropriate part of the retina as the head is tilted from side to side. To illustrate imagine standing upright and looking at an arrow that is pointing superiorly. Now tilt your head 45 degrees to the right, does the arrow move with your head? Now point at a 45 degree angle, hopefully not. Because of intorsion and extortion the arrow should still appear to be pointing superiorly. In this case the right eye has been intowarded and the left eye has been equivalently extorted so that the image falls on the same part of the retina as before the head tilt. Obviously our eye has a limited range of intorsion and extorsion. They cannot spin completely around within the orbit. And if we were to stand on our head the arrow would appear to change direction and appear to point inferiorly. Now, lets look at the movements produced by each of the extra oculum muscles. Medial and...

What does 20/20 vision actually mean?

What does it mean when you have got 20/20 Vision? 20/20 Vision is a term coined from an in office test to determine visual acuity or clarity of vision. If we're getting technical, the term 2020 actually refers to the size of a letter, a person can read when they are 20 feet away. When you walk into the exam room, and you see the Big E on the top of the chart, that's a 2200 letter. The next line down is 2100 and so on and so forth until you get to that small 2020 line, which is actually optimal vision that we check for in the exam. When patients have trouble seeing smaller letters on the eye chart, glasses and contacts can be prescribed to correct vision to a point where the 2020 line becomes focused. Measuring visual acuity is important, and is used as a way for your eye doctor to standardize how you're seeing over time. It can be used as a comparison tool from exam date to exam date. For example, if you saw 2020 last year, and you're seeing the 2030 ...
