Sports Vision

Sports demand good vision, and this cannot be achieved without the correct prescription.
Here at Gilbert opticians you will be given a thorough examination to ensure that your vision needs will be catered for. We will then tailor your prescription to your exact sports needs to maximise your vision.

Sports lenses are specially designed to accommodate wrap-around frames. They take into account the dynamic vision needed, and the necessity for a full field of view, and compensate for the curvature of the lens to produce perfect vision.

All our lenses can be produced in a range of materials from standard materials to more resilliant materials like Trivex.

We reccommend supplying all sports lenses as trivex as they are highly impact resistant, extremely lightweight, have low chromatic abberation and are 100% UV absorbant. We can offer a large range of tints, polarised and photochromic lenses to suit your sports vision requirements.

Every sport makes different demands on the athletes – and on their sports eyewear. We have a range of specialist solutions for sports such as golf, running, cycling, skiing and sailing.

Sports frames are required to be:

Robust - To withstand all types of sport
Comfortable - To make wearing them unobtrusive
Functional - To suits your needs and individual sports
