Whether you are an athlete, graphic designer, or construction worker, specialty glasses can help you see clearer and live better. From making a fashion statement to providing important safety features, the right eyewear can make achieving your goals easier. Allens Creek Family Optometry offers quality eye exams and glasses to suit every need. 

5 Types of Specialty Glasses

1. Computer

Many people spend considerable time on a computer or another digital device each day. Individuals who work on a laptop or use a tablet to study can combat eye strain and keep their vision healthy by wearing glasses designed for reading information on screens. Computer glasses also prevent eye fatigue and discomfort from staring at a brightly lit monitor. 

2. Driving

Whether you have prescription glasses and need a tinted pair for driving or have healthy eyes but experience glare in the car, automobile eyewear can help. Their lenses reduce brightness so you can see the road better. Ask your eye doctor about polarized lenses, which filter UV rays to allow optimal vision in bright sunlight. 

3. Safety

Some people who wear prescription glasses work in environments that require safety eyewear. Polycarbonate and Trivex® lenses are not only lightweight and durable but can be customized to your prescription. 

4. Fashion

While you might have trusty glasses you like for everyday wear, extra ones can complement specific outfits and make lasting impressions. You can choose styles for casual and formal occasions or look for frames in eye-catching colors. Whatever hue, pattern, or style you desire, your optometrist can help you create an eyewear wardrobe. 

5. Sports

If you play contact sports like basketball or soccer or enjoy outdoor pastimes like tennis and golf, you can choose eyewear made for athletes. These glasses can feature impact-resistant lenses, special straps to keep them secure, or a tint to help you see through sunlight and glare. Discuss the sport you play with your eye specialist so they can determine the best style for you.
