If you don't have perfect vision and you play sports — basketball specifically — then you’ve probably considered using basketball glasses. But do you really need them? The short answer to that question: Probably.

But first, let's explore why you need glasses specific for your sport, such as basketball glasses, and where you can find the very best pair.

They Improve Your Eyesight

Being able to react to a movement a split second faster — not to mention being able to more accurately determine the distance of the basket you’re shooting for – can dramatically enhance your game. The basketball glasses offered by Liberty Sport, which are engineered to handle any eyeglasses prescription, can help you do just that.

In addition to helping you see better, basketball glasses also greatly improve your general safety and overall performance.

Here are a few other ways they enhance your ability to play:

They’re Impact-Resistant

Imagine being in the middle of the very best pick-up court game of your life, and having your glasses suddenly break, rendering you unable to see clearly in the process.

Regular sports glasses and goggles, which are designed for more casual use, can easily be cracked or even completely destroyed during a particularly competitive game. Not only does this interfere with your ability to play, but it’s also dangerous, as broken shards of glass or plastic can easily scrape and damage your eyes.

Liberty Sport’s line of Sports Protective Eyewear, on the other hand, are designed to handle any impact the game throws at them. The frames and lenses are all designed to protect against impact, and are actually tested to meet or exceed the strictest ASTM F803 standards. (That means they’re safe for all racket, ball and stick sports.)

They Won't Fall Off

Your glasses should help your ability to play, not hinder it. Regular glasses — which you probably find yourself pushing back into place constantly during games — can quickly become a major hindrance. Basketball glasses and goggles are designed to stay in place, no matter how much you jump around on the court.

They Prevent Eye Injuries

While you’re playing, a flurry of hands, elbows, shoulders, knees and feet are flying about your face. If you happen to get hit the wrong way, you could easily suffer a serious eye injury. The New York Knicks’ Amar’e Stoudemire, for example, suffered a detached retina while playing; in order to prevent such an injury from occurring again, he now wears basketball glasses during every game.

Where Can You Find the Very Best Basketball Glasses?

Now that you understand why you need basketball glasses in the first place, you should also understand that all basketball glasses are most definitely not created equal. In order to get the most out of your glasses, you should only go with the best. In that regard, no basketball glasses outperform Liberty Sport's Sports protective Eyewear.

Let's take a look at what makes them so unique:

♦ They’re Fully Certified: Aside from being impact resistant, Liberty Sport  is the first protective sports eyewear manufacturer to be fully approved by the American Optometric Association.

♦ They’re More Comfortable: Chafing around your ears, your eyes, and on the bridge of your nose is an unfortunate side effect you can almost count on when wearing the wrong sports glasses. Rec Specs basketball glasses, however, are designed for maximum comfort, and each pair includes soft padding along the temples and bridges.

♦ They Look Great: Who ever said that wearing basketball glasses had to be synonymous with looking goofy? The Liberty Sport  team has created the next evolution in protective eyewear design, ensuring that you remain stylish while you play.

♦ They’re Designed to Last: You shouldn't have to constantly replace your basketball glasses. Because they are so durable, Liberty Sport Sports Protective Eyewear will protect you and enhance your vision for a very long time to come.
