Frames for older wearers should be lightweight to prevent pressure sores on the nose and ears as skin loses elasticity with age. The frame bridge must fit correctly and spread weight evenly. Style is still important for older individuals. Sports eyewear standards help protect performance and safety, and require impact resistance and labeling with manufacturer, model, and intended sport(s). Considerations for different sports include helmets, UV protection, prescription adaptations, and frame positioning.

26. SELECTING FRAMES FOR OLDER
WEARERS
• When selecting frames for older wearers, perhaps the
most important factor to consider is weight.
• With age, the skin looses its elasticity.
• When the eyeglasses are heavy, red marks on the
nose and ears can easily develop into sores that are
slow to heal.
• Therefore choosing a frame that is lightweight and
combining that selection with a lightweight lens
material will do much to prevent problems.

27. • The bridge of the frame must fi t correctly
• The bridge must seat itself over the largest area
possible to evenly spread the weight of the glasses.
• For this reason, when selecting a frame with
adjustable pads, it is helpful to use a frame with larger
pads when available.

28. • wearers.) It should not be assumed that the older
wearer will be unconcerned with style, or will only be
interested in the same type of frame as they have
been wearing.
• Older individuals appreciate being accorded the same
frame styling options given everyone else.

29. EYE PROTECTION FOR SPORTS
• The appropriate selection of eyewear for sports is
increasingly important
• Correct eyewear selection may improve performance
in the sport and at the same time protect the wearer.

30. AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR TESTING
AND MATERIALS
• These standards describe tests that must be used to
evaluate the ability of the eyewear to withstand and
protect from the impact of common equipment used
in the chosen sport.
• The standard most often encountered in an eye care
practice is the F803 standard.

31. • This is called F803 standard specifi cation for eye
protectors for selected sports.
• It is especially applicable since it applies to many of
the most popular sports, such as baseball, basketball,
soccer, and tennis.

32. ASTM PRODUCT MARKING
• ASTM sports eyewear product marking includes (1)
marking on the eyewear, (2) a label or tag, and (3)
specifi c warnings about product use

33. • Marking on the Eyewear. ASTM standards include
required product marking. For example,19 all ASTM
F803-approved eyewear must be marked with:
• 1. The manufacturer’s identity marking.
• 2. The eye protector model identity.

34. • Label or Tag. In addition, it should include a label or
tag with the following information:
• 1. Week and year of manufacture
• 2. The protector size and also guidance concerning
the age and gender of the wearer that the protector
has been designed for
• 3. A clear statement on the package as to the sport or
sports for which the protector was designed

36. THEMES IN SPORTS EYEWEAR
• • Virtually all sports demand highly impact-resistant
lenses made from such materials as polycarbonate.
• • Helmets are required when there is danger of head
injury.
• • Outdoor sports call for UV protection, and when
intense sunlight is a factor, sun lenses are appropriate.
• • Most sports using round balls call for ASTM F803-
approved protectors. These include baseball,
basketball, soccer, and any racquet sports, such as
tennis or badminton.

37. • • Underwater sports for those dependent upon
their prescription need special in-mask or in-
goggle prescription adaptations.
• • Billiards and pistol shooting may require
prescription changes.
• • Golf, fl ying, and shooting may require relocation
of multifocal segments and/or optical centers.
• • Bicycling and billiards may require changes in the
positioning of the frame front.
