Children's Rugby Goggles and Eyewear
Navigating the Rugby Field: The Ultimate Guide to Rugby Eyewear for Children | Buchanan Optometrists
The Pitch is No Place for Short Sightedness
Rugby is a game of strategy, strength, and above all, vision. The ability to see clearly can make all the difference between a triumphant try and a crushing defeat. The England Rugby guidelines might present a conundrum for parents whose children wear glasses. Fear not; Buchanan Optometrists is here to clear things up, literally!
The Rules of the Game
According to England Rugby, the wearing of standard spectacles is prohibited in contact rugby activities. Prescription glasses and sunglasses are allowed only for non-contact activities such as touch rugby and for age groups Under 8 and below. However, there is a silver lining: England Rugby is trialling the use of sports goggles for players engaged in contact rugby at the Under 13 age grade and below.
For more details, here is a link to the Rugbysafe Essential Guide - Sports Goggles & Eyewear from England Rugby.
Who Can Wear Goggles?
- Players Under 13 (and under exceptional circumstances, those U14s and above)
- Players with specific medical conditions
- Players who have lost sight in one eye and need to protect the remaining eye
- Players who cannot wear contact lenses to improve vision
