Provide prescription sports goggles free on the NHS to children under 16

What the petition asks

I would like the Government to provide free prescription sports goggles on the NHS to children under the age of 16 who have a prescription for glasses.
It has only just dawned on me that my daughter needs prescription sports goggles while doing sports as normal glasses are very impractical and if she removes her glasses her vision is impaired. I would like the Government to provide free prescription sports goggles to children under 16 years of age who are in the same situation as her.
