GlassesUSA.com has launched a new curated Sports Eyewear category for active individuals.

The collection includes a vast range of prescription and non-prescription glasses: eyeglasses and sunglasses; goggles; safety glasses; wrap-around frames and hi-tech glasses designed by Oakley, Puma and Ray-Ban among others. The frames address a variety of sporting activities including baseball, golf, running, cycling, basketball, tennis, hiking and volleyball.

“At GlassesUSA.com we constantly aim to expand our comprehensive selection to become the one-stop shop for eyewear needs,” said Daniel Rothman, co-founder and CEO at GlassesUSA.com. “We understand that athletes prioritize comfort and quality when selecting their accessories and glasses are an important component as they help improve vision and provide protection while practicing high impact sports.”

Moreover, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, tens of thousands of sports and recreation-related eye injuries occur each year. Many of these injuries can easily be prevented by wearing the proper eye protection. Regular glasses are not made to protect from high impact sports, which can require extended exposure to UV rays.

For individuals who do not have their prescription readily available, GlassesUSA.com’s Prescription Scanner App allows consumers to extract the optical parameters off their current glasses. This information is automatically populated on the website, making it easier than ever to purchase prescription eyewear online.

GlassesUSA.com claims to be the fastest growing leading online eyewear retailer.
