Your Complete Sports Rx Eyewear Source from F803 Impact Protection to Sun Performance for all sports

In 2008, we launched "The Liberty Sport Rx Worry Free Liability Guarantee." When a practice purchases one of Liberty Sport's frames and processes the Rx with Liberty Sport Lab, we will indemnify the retailer from any product liability damages, at no additional cost to you.

Innovative Protective Sports Eyewear

Launched in 2008, F8 is a premium protective eyewear brand centered around protection and performance. When compliant frames are fitted with the appropriate polycarbonate lenses, the eyewear meets or exceeds ASTM (American Society Testing and Materials) F803 impact-resistance guidelines.

Rec Specs

Rec Specs is the world's leading brand of high-quality protective eyewear designed specifically for sporting applications. Most Rec Specs are tested to withstand the ASTM F803 impact-resistance standards for racquetball, basketball, handball, squash, paddleball, and tennis when fitted with the appropriate polycarbonate lenses.

Rec Specs is the first protective sport eyewear to receive the AOA Seal of Acceptance.

Performance sunglasses engineered for lifestyle sports

At Liberty Sport, we are dedicated to setting the gold standard for advantaged eyewear solutions for athletes and active people everywhere. In doing so, Liberty Sport helps to protect vision and improve performance with prescription performance sunglasses. Our styles are engineered and innovative across the entire collection. We design performance sunglasses for use-specific basis - each style has unique, functional product advantages. The lifestyle sports we cater to are: speed and motion (motorcycling, cycling, running), snow (winter sports, skiing, snowboarding), water (fishing, water sports, boating), cross training, swimming, golfing and shooting.

New performance sun technologies introduced in 2008

MagTraxion Technology™

MagTraxion Technology™ is a technically unique magnetic system combining skillful engineering and contemporary style. In a snap, you can go from a fashion sunglass to high performance sun protection. It's like getting two pairs of sunglasses for the price of one!

Illusion Technology™ (patent pending)

Illusion Technology™ is an optically friendly, patent-pending Rx adapter system. Eye care professionals can now insert six-base lenses into sunglasses sporting an eight-base, semi-rimless mounting. The Illusion is perfect for the customer who has a more demanding prescription, but still enjoys the look of swept-back sunglasses.

Dedicated to preventing sports-related eye injuries

Liberty Sport sponsors the Coalition to Prevent Sports Eye Injuries. The coalition was created to substantially reduce the number of avoidable eye injuries that occur in today's sports and recreational environment. This mission will be achieved through the implementation of proactive programs targeting the education of eye care professionals, organized sports organizations, government agencies, parents and participants with regards to both the risks of sports-related eye injury as well as effective measures of prevention.

Liberty Sport sponsors the AOA's Keeping Injuries Down in Sports (K.I.D.S.) state optometric association grant program, which provides $100,000 (each grant has a $10,000 maximum) for projects that support public education and awareness of the prevention of sports-related eye injuries through the use of appropriate personal protective eyewear.
