<p>Hi guys. </p>
<p>I know that many of you wear glasses, just as I do. So I wonder how people play sports at BS? @MBVLoveless: don't tell me to take it off :D.</p>
<p>Some people get sports goggles. I had those before I got contacts.</p>
<p>I haven’t gone to boarding school, but I play varsity tennis at my local public school with my classes on. When I ran cross country/track, I still kept my glasses on. The only time I took them off was for “contact” sports. For basketball/soccer, I would replace them with like an indestructible pair of glasses that looked like a scuba diving mask.</p>
<p>I’m afraid that not many pairs of glasses are goodlooking. And does anyone think that contacts may harm our eyes? I dont know but I get that impression.</p>
<p>This is the best one I can find!

<p>You should really really really see an eye doctor. Don’t buy glasses without consulting a doctor. They can tell you so much more and I’m sure they can find you a “good looking” pair.</p>
<p>Thanks for the idea! @PxAlaska. But I can’t see any sports glasses store around me!</p>
<p>My son wears “Rec Specs” (with prescription lenses) for sports. We got these sports glasses at the same time / place as his regular daily glasses.</p>
<p>I googled and came up with the same results. But I dont think Rec Specs are goodlooking</p>
<p>My son got sports goggles for indoor soccer at a regular eye glass store. It is the same rx as his regular glasses.</p>
<p>No, they aren’t very fetching. But neither is having eyes filled with shards of glass.</p>
<p>Are they prescripted glasses? Are they expensive?</p>
<p>Yes, they are prescription lenses. I don’t remember how much they cost. I don’t think they were as expensive as his daily glasses.</p>
<p>Wow. Thank you a lot. I think I’ll need them although the Skiiing Glasses look so much cooler haha. 1+ for MamaBug.</p>
<p>You can get some like this [Hilco</a> / Wilson Product Results](<a href=“http://www.hilco.com/catalog/catalog_browse.asp?ResultType=single&prodID=21978&IDType=internal&refpg=eyewear_sport_main.asp]Hilco”>http://www.hilco.com/catalog/catalog_browse.asp?ResultType=single&prodID=21978&IDType=internal&refpg=eyewear_sport_main.asp) or you can get something like this [Unique</a> Over Specs Eyewear](<a href=“Unique Over Specs Eyewear | Racquetball Warehouse”>Unique Over Specs Eyewear | Racquetball Warehouse) which goes over your glasses (designed for raquetball). You can try a sports store for the over-glasses goggles if you like that look better.</p>
<p>Just wondering, would you consider getting contacts? I got my contacts for the same reason (sports), and they help a lot. (:</p>
<p>My kid also got contacts for sports, and wears them only for sports (glasses otherwise).</p>
<p>I stated in my previous post that I got a feeling contacts will harm your eyes. i and my sister have fought over this for a while. Also, since I’m wearing glasses for a while, I believe taking it off makes me look more stupid( I should make me more naive huh 
)</p>
<p>but thank you all of you who tried to help! I appreciate it.</p>
<p>LOL, I read the OP and went, “At least you aren’t blind without your glassses!” I have a -10.00 perscription.</p>
<p>I haven’t considered contacts primarily because I don’t want to touch my eyeball. At all. Besides, I’ve gotten so used to having glasses on that I believe that I look weird without them. Vanity all the way!</p>
<p>However, in gym class, I wear these dorky pair of goggles that resemble the goggles you wear while doing a lab; they’re super bulky though.</p>
<p>Maybe that’s why I don’t play sports…:)</p>
<p>@GoldenRatio I felt the exact same way about my glasses before I decided to get contacts. I was like nah I’d look weird, but its been 3 years and I realized that since I’m so used to my contacts now I look weird in glasses. It’s an unfortunate back and forth struggle. I didn’t want to touch my eye either but after a few days and it a week it’s not bad. Contacts definitely aren’t for everyone but don’t count them out!</p>
<p>@confusedonhades: Good thing to know! Thanks; I’ll consider it.</p>
