How to Protect Your Glasses While Playing Sports

Playing sports is a great way to stay active and have fun. However, for people who wear prescription glasses, it can be a challenge to protect their eyewear while playing sports. Whether you're playing basketball, soccer, or any other sport, there are several things you can do to protect your glasses and keep them from getting damaged or broken.

How to Protect Your Glasses While Playing Sports

As experts in protective eyewear, we understand the concern in trying to wear your everyday prescription glasses to practice or a game. It can prove difficult, especially if the activity is rather competitive. Here are some suggestions on how to protect or replace your prescription glasses while playing any sport.

Choose the Right Eyewear

Choosing the right glasses for sports is the first step in protecting your eyewear. Look for glasses that are designed specifically for sports, as they will be more durable and have features that help keep them in place during physical activity. Sports glasses typically have shatterproof lenses, are made of impact-resistant materials, and have a comfortable fit.

Wear Protective Eyewear

If you play sports regularly, it may be worth investing in prescription sports glasses or prescription sports goggles. This can include sports goggles or a face shield that is specifically designed for your sport. These types of eyewear are designed to provide extra protection to your eyes and the surrounding area. At Goggles N More, we offer the option to customize sports glasses or sports goggles with your own eye prescription.

Use a Strap

Using a strap to keep your sports glasses securely in place is a great way to prevent them from falling off during physical activity. You can buy a strap that attaches to the arms of your sports glasses or sports goggles and goes around the back of your head, or you can make your own using an old elastic band. Many of the brands we carry include a head strap to ensure the pair you choose stays put, even during high-impact activities.

Keep a Spare Pair of Sports Glasses or Sports Goggles

Accidents can happen, and it's always a good idea to have a spare pair of prescription glasses on hand just in case. If you don't get sports glasses or sports goggles, which would be the more protective choice, then purchase an extra pair of prescription glasses. Keep a spare pair in your sports bag or locker so that you can easily switch them out if your primary glasses get damaged.

Store Your Sports Glasses or Sports Goggles Properly

When you're not wearing your glasses, it's important to store them properly to prevent damage. Keep them in a hard case to protect them from scratches, bumps, and other damage. Avoid leaving them on a surface where they can be knocked over or stepped on.

Wear Sports Glasses or Sports Goggles for Stress-Free Sports

Generally, it's always better to replace your prescription glasses with more protective eyewear customized to your eye prescription. Consider wearing a pair of sports glasses or sports goggles, instead of your normal glasses when playing any sport. By following these tips, you can help prevent damage to your glasses and ensure that they stay in good condition for a long time. Remember to choose the right sports glasses or sports goggles, use protective eyewear, use a strap, keep a spare pair of sports glasses or sports goggles, and store them properly, and also be mindful. With these tips in mind, you can enjoy your favorite sports without worrying about your glasses.
