Lacrosse and Field Hockey Goggles

Prescription Eyewear for Boys' Lacrosse

Boys' lacrosse presents a unique challenge for athletes who wear prescription eyewear because the helmet and face mask leave very little room for traditional sports glasses.

Many standard sports goggles are difficult—or even impossible—to put on after the helmet is in place because of the way most lacrosse face masks are constructed.

For this reason, we recommend sports goggles with lower-profile temples that fit more comfortably under lacrosse helmets. Choosing the right frame can make a significant difference in both comfort and ease of use throughout practices and games.

If you're unsure which model works best with your helmet, we're happy to help.

Girls' Lacrosse Prescription Eyewear

Girls' lacrosse follows a different set of eyewear rules than boys' lacrosse.

Current rules require field players to wear protective eyewear that meets the applicable girls' lacrosse standard (ASTM F3077) and bears the required certification markings.

At this time, prescription options that meet the current standard are extremely limited.

For players who require prescription vision correction, there may be league-specific accommodations or situations where prescription sports goggles worn beneath approved face protection are permitted. Requirements vary by organization, age group, and governing body, so we recommend confirming the current rules with your league before purchasing.

If you have questions, our team can help discuss the available options.

Field Hockey Eyewear

Field hockey has its own eyewear requirements that are different from those used in lacrosse. For NFHS play, field hockey goggles must comply with ASTM F2713, which is a separate standard from ASTM F803.

FAQ

What sports goggles work best with a boys' lacrosse helmet?

Not every sports goggle fits comfortably under a lacrosse helmet. Because the helmet fits closely around the head and face, lower-profile models generally work better than bulkier designs. If you're unsure which frame will work with your helmet, contact us and we'll be happy to recommend compatible options.

Can I get prescription goggles for girls' lacrosse?

Current girls' lacrosse rules require protective eyewear that meets the applicable ASTM F3077 standard. At this time, prescription options that meet that standard are very limited. Depending on your league and level of play, there may be approved alternatives or accommodations. Please contact us before ordering so we can help you determine the best option.
