Eye Pieces Sport offers sports specific eye wear

‘You can’t ski if you can’t see’ is a motto that fits the philosophy at Eye Pieces of Vail’s newest location

Some of the hottest looks along with the latest in technology in sunglasses, goggles and helmets come together at the new Eye Pieces Sport, the latest store in the Eye Pieces of Vail collection of spectacle shops.

In contrast to Eye Pieces’ other locations, there are no regular prescription frames in this shop. Eye wear for skiing and snowboarding, hiking, biking, fishing, golf and other outdoor activities fill the shelves along with highly-curated items to enhance your active lifestyle.

Check out the latest in prescription goggle technology from SK-X out of Austria that integrates your prescription into the back of the goggle lens. Eye Pieces Sport offers two models from POC and Atomic that carry this technology which features large curved lenses that deliver a very wide field of vision without restricting peripheral vision.

Technology is always advancing and Eye Pieces Sport is happy to help their customers take care of any of their vision needs while they are out to play.

“A lot of people think that due to their higher prescription, they can’t get a sport wrap pair of glasses,” said Tyler Moore, manager of Eye Pieces Sport. “That used to be the case, but the technology has come so far in how these digital lenses are actually made that we can do a wide variety of prescriptions in a high wrap sport frame.”
