Introducing Mosspark Opticians Sports Eyewear

Good vision is a part of good performance. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, playing sports without the right eyewear can leave you at a disadvantage – and at risk of injury. 

At Mosspark Opticians in Glasgow, we offer a carefully selected range of prescription and non-prescription sports glasses, goggles, and sunglasses. Every pair is chosen for comfort, durability, and optical clarity – so you can focus on your game, not your eyewear. 

Whether you need impact-resistant lenses for racquet sports, wraparound frames for cycling, or tinted lenses for outdoor activities, our team will help you find the right fit for your sport and your prescription. 

Why Your Eyes Need Protection During Sport

Your eyes are vulnerable during physical activity. A stray ball, UV exposure, wind, or debris can cause discomfort or injury. The right eyewear prevents this. 

Impact protection

Shatter-resistant lenses guard against fast-moving objects safely and reliably.

UV protection

Built-in filters effectively block harmful rays during outdoor sports.

Clearer vision

Prescription lenses help you react faster and perform better.

Reduced glare

Polarised lenses cut glare from water, grass, and roads.

Secure fit

Rubber grips and wraparound designs keep glasses in place.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes. We fit prescription lenses into a wide range of sports frames. Whether you need single vision or more complex prescriptions, we can make sports glasses that match your exact visual needs. 

    Absolutely. Children’s sports glasses are made from lightweight, impact-resistant materials and are designed to fit smaller faces securely. They’re a great way to protect your child’s eyes during school PE, football, swimming, and other activities. 

    Sports glasses use stronger, more impact-resistant materials like polycarbonate. The frames are designed to stay in place during movement, with features like wraparound shapes, rubber grips, and adjustable nose pads. Standard glasses aren’t built to handle the demands of physical activity. 

    Yes, contact lenses are a good option for many sports, especially high-contact activities like rugby or martial arts. Daily disposable lenses are the most practical choice for sport. We offer contact lens consultations to help you decide. 

    Yes. We offer prescription sports sunglasses with a range of tint and coating options, including polarised, photochromic, and UV-protective lenses. These are ideal for outdoor sports like cycling, golf, running, and fishing. 

    The cost depends on the frame style, lens type, and any coatings you choose. We’ll always explain pricing clearly before you commit to anything, and we’ll help you find the best option within your budget. 

    That’s what our consultation is for. We’ll ask about your sport, your environment, and your visual needs, then recommend the most suitable frame and lens combination. You don’t need to know what you want before you arrive — that’s our job. 

    NHS vouchers can sometimes be applied towards the cost of prescription lenses used in sports frames. Eligibility depends on your circumstances. Ask our team and we’ll check what support is available to you. 

    Yes. We can supply prescription swimming goggles that give you clear vision in the water. These are available for both adults and children. 

    Most prescription sports glasses take around 7 to 14 working days, depending on the frame and lens combination. We’ll give you a clear timeframe when you place your order.
