Focusing solely on protective sports eyewear and performance sunwear, our mission is to provide unique, advantaged eyewear solutions to athletes in order to protect vision and improve performance.

Innovative Protective Sports Eyewear

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-resistant 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

Liberty Sport sunglass designs provide maximum protection for specific lifestyle activities, from water sports like swimming and jet skiing to winter sports like skiing and snowboarding.

Frames are engineered to provide comfort and fit, and sun lenses provide maximum performance for various sports activities. All styles are available as prescription eyewear.

Dedicated to Preventing Sports-Related Eye Injuries

Liberty Sport, Inc., 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 regard to both the risks of sport-related eye injury as well as effective measures of prevention.

Liberty Sport, Inc., sponsors the “Keeping Injuries Down in Sports” (K.I.D.S.) state optometric association grant program. The program is administered through state optometric associations.

Liberty Sport sponsors a fund of $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.
