Squash

Protect your eyes from fast balls and unexpected impact -with squash goggles, you play safely and sharply.

During a game of squash, the ball flies back and forth at lightning speed. One unexpected bounce and it shoots straight at your face. It happens in a split second. Squash goggles protect you from moments like these. You see sharply, stay focused and play with confidence, without worrying about your eyes. Whether you play recreationally or train fanatically, good goggles are just as important as your racket.

Squash is one of the racket sports with the greatest potential for eye impact. The ball is small, hard and can move toward your face at high speed. In addition, you play on a compact court where players are close together. Therefore, squash goggles are specially designed to provide maximum protection without restricting your vision or freedom of movement.

Most squash glasses have a closed sport frame that fits snugly around the eyes. This keeps the eyes protected from a direct ball impact, as well as from a racket or elbow during a fast-paced rally. At the same time, the sporty fit ensures that the goggles remain secure during intense movement on the court.

Safe and strong glasses

Squash glasses feature strong, impact-resistant lenses. These are usually made of polycarbonate or Trivex, materials that are much more resistant to impact than ordinary eyeglass lenses. This keeps your eyes protected when a ball or racket comes unexpectedly toward your face.

In addition, the glasses often have an anti-fog coating. During an intense game, glasses can fog up quickly due to heat and exertion. Anti-fog coatings and vents help keep vision clear, so you can always keep your eye on the ball.

Characteristics of good squash glasses

Good squash goggles combine safety, comfort and a wide field of vision. Important features are:

• Impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses for maximum safety
• Closed frame that protects the eyes well all around
• Lightweight materials for long-lasting comfort
• Vents to reduce fogging
• Non-slip nose bridge and paws for a stable fit
• Wide field of vision so you can always see the ball clearly

Many squash goggles come with an elastic strap or adjustable headband. This ensures that the goggles remain even more stable during fast movements on the court.

Squash prescription glasses

Do you play squash with glasses? Then there are several options. Many squash glasses can be fitted with prescription sports glasses or an insert clip behind the glass. This allows you to have a sharp view of the ball while maintaining the protection of real sports glasses.

For players who normally wear contact lenses, squash goggles can additionally provide extra protection from dust, sweat or unexpected impact.

Why squash goggles are important

Squash is more likely to cause eye injuries than many other racquet sports. For this reason, sports organizations and clubs often recommend that protective glasses be worn at all times. With good squash goggles, you not only protect your eyes, but also play with more confidence and focus.
