SportRx Donates Prescription Inserts To Aid PPE Shortage

SportRx, is devoting their lab resources to make custom prescription inserts for goggles donated through Goggles for Docs. Goggles for Docs is a movement that arose through a request for help from an ER Doctor in NYC. Their mission is to get new and used ski and motocross goggles into the hands of healthcare workers to protect their eyes while they treat COVID-19 patients.

SportRx has dedicated the last 24 years to perfecting custom prescription sport sunglasses and prescription inserts for sports goggles. When SportRx learned some of their industry partners were donating goggles to frontline COVID-19 response teams, they saw an opportunity to help.

SportRx Vice President, Rob Tavakoli says, “Our mission is helping people see better so they can do the things they love. Vision is imperative for our frontline workers, even more so at a time like this. If they have to resort to using sports goggles given the PPE shortage, we want to make sure the goggles are equipped with the proper vision correction for medical staff with prescription needs.”
