Summertime means fun in the sun, but it’s also the peak season for eye injuries. Whether you’re hitting the baseball diamond, riding your bike, or aiming for the bullseye, eye safety should be a top priority. Dr. Dirk Massie shares how athletes of all ages can prepare to protect your eyes during the fun activities ahead:

• Use protective eyewear, whether you play high-impact sports or even participate in solo activities like cycling or target shooting. Our doctors help you achieve peak performance with custom prescriptions in safety lenses to improve vision and keep your eyes safe
• Choose the right sunglasses that block UV rays and use polarized lenses to reduce glare and enhance visual clarity
• Schedule regular exams to detect any vision issues early. This goes for adult athletes as well as kids!
