Sports Glasses

What is Sports Glasses

Sports glasses (also called sports eyewear or athletic eyewear) are specialized protective glasses designed for active sports. They feature impact-resistant lenses (usually polycarbonate), secure fit with straps or wraparound frames, UV protection, and often anti-fog/anti-scratch coatings to enhance safety, comfort, and performance during movement.

Main types:

  • Sports goggles: Fully enclosed for high-impact protection (e.g., basketball, racquet sports, skiing).
  • Wraparound sports sunglasses: Curved frames for wide coverage and glare reduction (e.g., cycling, running, golf).
  • Shield-style: Single-piece lens for unobstructed vision (e.g., team sports, outdoor activities).
  • Prescription sports glasses: Custom-corrected versions with sport-specific features.
  • Specialized (e.g., water/ski goggles, shooting glasses).
