Eyewear to Enhance Your Game, Improve Your Vision, & Keep You Competitive
Athletes are always looking for ways to enhance their performance. Sports glasses protect your eyes with thicker frames or heavy-duty goggles so that you can focus on your passion and pursue it with confidence. Some sports glasses can also improve your vision during specific activities by reducing glare.
How Sports Glasses Protect Your Eyes
Application-Specific Protection
Different activities require different gear. We carry a range of safety eyewear ranging from polycarbonate-lenses to wrap-around face shields.
Impact Resistant Lenses
The impact from a small object moving at high speed—such as a golf ball—can shatter the lenses in standard sunglasses. Impact resistant lenses offer protection against such events, keeping your eyes protected.
How Sports Glasses Enhance Your Vision
Improved Visibility
Polarized lenses reduce glare, making it easier to see when outdoors. Most golf sunglasses use polarized lenses for this reason.
Corrective Vision
If you require prescription lenses, a pair of prescription sports glasses can help correct your vision while also protecting your eyes.

Testimonials
“Just had the first eye exam for my daughter with Dr. Chow. My daughter really does not like doctors… but Dr. Chow was perfect she did the exam flawlessly and handled my daughter’s objections really well. ZERO stress. Now my daughter is excited to come back for her next eye exam in a year. Thank you also to Dr. Mestito-Dao super nice and super accommodating! Not to mention the staff, pro’s at what they do. Thank you and nicely done HVC!”

“I had a very good experience with this clinic. The reception staff were warm, and efficient. My insurance coverage was handling very well. The pre-exam procedures were done well, by staff that were well versed in doing them. The Optometrist (Dr Zimmer), was excellent to deal with and very thorough. The office had a pleasant ambiance, and I left my appointment with a very “good feeling” about the whole experience. I will be booking my appointments with this clinic again.”
Mark Z.
“Every time I go to the H.V.C. I’m very pleased with Dr. Mundle & his staff’s thorough eye examination. They always take their time to explain & answer any questions I have regarding their tests & procedures.”
Alex N.
“Everyone was very friendly. They went over and above to explain everything to me. Helped me pick out new glasses which I’m obsessed with. When I went back in to pick them up the girl was so excited to help me and I left feeling so confident.”
Jess D.
“The staff are so friendly and it’s a very welcoming place. I see Dr. Mestito-Dao and I always feel like she listens to me and offers great feedback & advice. The exams are thorough so I also feel reassured that I’m in good hands and have had a comprehensive appointment. I would recommend Henderson Vision Centre to anyone.”
