Taking Ozempic or Wegovy? Here's What to Know About Sudden Vision Loss
By Kapil G. Kapoor, MD, FACS, FICS, FASRS | Wagner Kapoor Institute
Why Athletes Should Wear Protective Eyewear
Protective sports goggles made with polycarbonate lenses are designed to withstand high-impact collisions.
These lenses are:
- Lightweight
• Highly impact-resistant
• Safer than standard glasses
Athletes who wear prescription glasses should consider sports-specific prescription goggles to maintain clear vision while protecting their eyes.
At Wagner Kapoor Institute, we often remind patients that protecting your eyes should be just as important as protecting your head or teeth during sports.
