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).
