Sports like basketball, soccer, and squash can put athletes at risk of facial injuries, and regular frames simply won\u2019t cut it. For impact sports, you want to make sure that your glasses are fit with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.astm.org\/f0803-19.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" aria-label=\"Visit ASTM F803 designation Page (opens in new tab)\"><strong>ASTM F803 designation<\/strong><\/a>, which means that your frames can undergo impact from projectile objects of a specific speed and size (90 mph and 40-65.1mm in size to be exact). Impact-resistant frames are constructed to handle the rigors of sport, offering peace of mind for both the professional and the weekend warrior. Here are some features that make these frames indispensable:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shatterproof materials<\/strong>: Using advanced plastics and polycarbonates, these frames can take a hit and keep on going.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flexibility<\/strong>: The ability to bend without breaking means that impact-resistant frames can absorb energy and provide better protection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Snug fit<\/strong>: Designed to stay in place during rapid movements, they reduce the risk of injury from a dislodged pair of glasses.
