What's the difference between Z87-2 and ASTM F803?

Also, what do you recommend for ophthalmic sports safety eyewear?
For activities like football, basketball, soccer?
I noticed Hilco offers the Jam'n and the T-Zone. What do you guys think of these? What do you offer your patients?

ANSI (Z87) and ASTM (F803) are different testing agencies. ASTM is more internationally recognized, at least in safety eyewear (particularly sports safety eyewear).

Liberty Optical is well known for sports safety eyewear. Most of theirs conforms to both ANSI and ASTM standards.
