Safety Glasses & Prescription Sports Eyewear
Protect your eyes at work, at play and in the water. We supply and fit Univet safety eyewear and prescription sports glasses, made to your prescription, where you need them.
Why protective eyewear matters
Eye injuries happen in seconds, on a building site, in a lab or on the sports field. The right eyewear cuts that risk dramatically and is far more comfortable than most people expect.
Good protective eyewear also helps you see better. Clear optics, the right lens tint and a secure fit mean less squinting, less fogging and fewer distractions, whatever you are doing.
Univet safety eyewear for every workplace
We are proud to stock safety eyewear from Univet, the Italian specialist in protective eyewear. Every Univet product is designed around comfort and fit, so it sits well alongside hard hats, masks and ear defenders, and looks good enough that people actually keep it on. The range covers three main types of protection, in versions built for industrial, medical and cleanroom settings. Ask us, and we will help you find the right one.
Industrial safety eyewear
Tough, comfortable protection for construction, engineering, manufacturing and workshops.
Safety spectacles — Lightweight, sporty frames that protect without pressing on the face. Ideal for all-day wear. View the range
Safety goggles — A close seal around the eyes, wide coverage and high impact resistance for dust, debris and splashes. View the range
Face shields — Full-face protection for grinding, cutting and other jobs where glasses alone are not enough. View the range
Medical and healthcare eyewear
Protection for clinics, dental surgeries, hospitals and laboratories, using advanced lens materials and coatings.
Medical spectacles — Comfortable, well-balanced frames for long shifts and close, detailed work. View the range
Medical goggles — A secure, sealed fit that keeps splashes and droplets away from the eyes. View the range

Cleanroom and laboratory eyewear
For controlled environments, Univet uses specialist materials that withstand repeated sterilisation, so your eyewear stays protective cycle after cycle.
Prescription safety glasses
If you wear glasses, you should not have to choose between seeing clearly and staying safe. Univet's prescription safety frames are light and comfortable, and we fit them with lenses made to your own prescription, so you can work safely without wearing goggles over your everyday glasses.
Prescription sports and swimming eyewear
See clearly in the pool, on the slopes and at the range. Our prescription sports and swimming eyewear comes from Inland Optical, a UK specialist in prescription sports eyewear, and every pair is made to your prescription. We can also source frames for you to try in store.
Prescription swimming goggles
Swim without blurred vision. Prescription swimming goggles let you follow the lane, see the clock and swim with confidence, ideal for lane swimmers, triathletes and anyone lost without their glasses in the pool. It doesn't stop at swimming: explore the gallery below for prescription dive masks for snorkelling and diving, ski masks for clear sight on the slopes, and snooker glasses designed for an upright stance over the table.
Prescription shooting glasses
Shooting is a big part of life around Crowborough and the Ashdown Forest, and we are proud to look after the local shooting community. Whether you shoot clays, game or targets, good shooting glasses protect your eyes from fragments and spent shot while helping you pick up the target faster.
We can fit shooting glasses with lenses made to your prescription, set up for your head position on the gun so you look through the optical centre of the lens. Interchangeable tinted lenses help you see clays clearly against trees, sky and changing light, from bright summer days to dull winter mornings. Bring your gun mount and shooting style to your fitting, and we will help you choose the right frame and tints.
