    Redhot Jumper Sports glasses for 13 year old

    I'm looking for a semi-rimless sport glass.
    Rx is :
    +3.00-2.75*180
    +0.25-0.25-170
    PD 58

    I'm pulling my hair out on this, which is bad seeing I dont have much to begin with.

    Thanks,

    KCount

    In my opinion, if your looking for a semi-rimless, safety and durability are not the biggest concerns, in which case I would fit a CL on the OD only. Most likely an RGP. (right Chip??)

    Do you know the un-corrected/ corrected VA's?? I suspect not a whole lot different.

    No I dont have access to the Va's but I suspect its pretty close also. The child isn't wearing glasses most of the time now.
    Ultimately, I have a child on travel baseball and a mom that wants him to have Oakley's. I'm OK with that but Oakley cant make the Rx in the spec's. And I dont have an MEI lens mill to do it myself. So here we are.

    Sounds like Mom is more interested in style and name rather than protection. A semi-rimless can't have the same impact protection as a full rim.

    In this case I would strongly urge that you dispense eyewear that meets the ASTM F803 standard for protective prescription sports eyewear. While it would be great if you bought it from us (Liberty), Hilco also has a few styles as well. These frames are all designed, engineered and certified to handle various sorts of impacts that occur in various sports. For more information you can check out a website of a non-profit 503(c) organization that we sponsored along with the National Eye Institute called the Coalition to Prevent Sports Eye Injuries (www.sportseyeinjuries.com). The website has a lot of information on the prevalence of sports eye injuries, and the different organizations in ophthamology, optometry and public health who have gotten behind this initiative.

    Feel free to contact me directly if we can help you further-
