Do you love playing sports? For example: Swimming Cycling Basketball Football Skiing/snowboarding Sports glasses help you to protect your eyes and see well at your sport. Often sports glasses can be better than your normal glasses. Sports glasses tend to wrap around your face better than normal glasses. This helps to protect your eyes from dust, wind, debris, pollen or rain. Sports glasses usually block out UV better than normal glasses. If you love cycling, you can get photochromatic lenses. These lenses allow you to start riding when it's dark. When the glare kicks in, the lenses start to automatically darken. This saves you carrying another pair of sunglasses. Sports glasses protect you from impact to your face Ever been hit in the face by a ball? If you've ever been hit with normal glasses, you'll know that a knock can make you feel sore. Sports glasses are made out of impact resistant material. This means that they won't shatter and hurt you. Sports glasses often have extra rubber gaskets to protect your face and nose in an accident. Sports glasses help to prevent fogging When you're in the middle of a game, it's easy to sweat. Normal glasses fog up easily. Sports glasses can have special anti-fog lenses. If you love ball sports or skiing/snowboarding then anti-fog lenses are a must. You won't have to stop to wipe your glasses constantly.
