For Work, Hobbies, & Everyday Protection

Your eyes work hard, and certain environments expose them to dust, debris, chemicals, bright lights, or impact risks. Our specialty eyewear options provide reinforced protection without compromising clarity or comfort. Each pair is selected and fitted by our optical team to match your prescription and your daily routine.

These protective frames benefit patients who work in:

Industrial or construction environments
Laboratories or healthcare settings
Workshops, woodworking, or crafting
Outdoor projects and yardwork
Sports or recreational activities that involve impact risk

Solutions Tailored for Your Prescription

Safety eyewear performs best when it supports your prescription precisely. Because these frames are only offered to patients who complete a comprehensive eye exam with us and use a Southern Eye Centers prescription, we ensure accurate measurements and a comfortable, reliable fit.

You receive eyewear that protects your eyes and maintains the clarity you rely on throughout the day.

FAA Color Vision Testing for Pilots

Certain careers require more than protective eyewear, and aviation is one of them. Pilots must meet specific color vision standards to ensure safe navigation and accurate interpretation of cockpit signals. Southern Eye Centers offers FAA-approved color vision testing for pilots and aviation students who need certified results for their medical clearance.

Our eye doctors follow FAA guidelines and explain your results clearly, making the process straightforward and stress-free. This service pairs well with our safety eyewear options for those who work in aviation and need vision protection and certified testing.

The Right Choice for Eye Safety

Accidents happen in seconds, and proper protective eyewear significantly reduces the risk of eye injuries. Our Baton Rouge eye doctors and optical team work together to recommend the safest, most effective option for your activities. You receive guidance that helps you understand when and why specialty eyewear matters for your vision and overall eye health.

If an eye emergency ever occurs, our team offers prompt emergency eye care to evaluate injuries quickly and protect your sight. You always have a trusted Plaquemine optometrist ready to help when you need immediate support.
