The material used in the protective goggles is composed of solid clear acetate for it's rigid stability and ease for applying prescription lenses. The goggles are hand cut from large blocks of clear acetate and polished and assembled at the factory to form the best available sports protection world wide. These products were initially manufactured with the help and cooperation of Imperial Optical and the CSA protection committee.

From the Canadian Journal of Optometry: Summer 2000
If you're any sort of hockey fan, you probably noted the media attention in March surrounding the devastating high-sticking injury suffered by Toronto Maple Leafs' defenceman Bryan Berard.
In the wake of the injury, experts from a number of professional groups, including your own Canadian Association of Optometrists, led the charge for mandatory eye and face protection for all NHL players. CAO continues to lobby the league to adopt the protective eyewear, as it has done for the last several years.
CAO has also received information about a new invention for players requiring visual correction: TEK Canada, a Canadian eyewear manufacturer, has launched a prescription hockey guard called the TEK Hockey Gard. The guard, made of clear acetate, is manufactured to fit securely under a hockey helmet and is worn in conjunction with face shields.
