So I have found some swimming pool googles with some generic prescription that is close enough to my day-to-day glasses that are good enough to make sure I don鈥檛 hit anything or anyone while swimming.
I can鈥檛, however, find a similar solution for running. I rather not use contact lenses or my daily glasses for running so not asking for solutions like that.
Do you know of any generic glasses for sports/running that offer prescription lenses in some generic prescription? Thanks!
You鈥檒l probably have more luck if you look for prescription cycling glasses - all of which should also be good for running. The market just seems to be bigger for cycling, to the extent I鈥檝e often seen prescription glasses advertised in cycling magazines, but I can鈥檛 recall ever seeing glasses marketed at runners
Also I think there鈥檚 just more interest from cyclists. I鈥檝e considered getting prescription cycling glasses to deal with the wind when I鈥檓 on my bike, but I just run in my regular glasses - but I鈥檝e got plastic frames so no nose pads to discolor. And I don鈥檛 run very fast, lol.
I suspect there are a few reasons the market for cycling is bigger:
- The importance of being able to see is much higher. Before I got Lasik, I would just take my glasses off when running. I could see well enough to stay on the path and avoid other runners or walkers. Being able to see and react quickly is just more important on the bike.
- Even normal-sighted cyclists frequently wear glasses for UV/sun protection and as a wind screen.
Goodr has an option for prescription. They鈥檙e great for not bouncing or sliding around. The non prescription sunglasses are $25 if you want to try those first.
Agree thay Goodr is a good option. My only complaint about them is that their lenses scratch too easily, but presumably prescription lenses would be sturdier so that should be fine.
I鈥檇 search just for prescription sunglasses and find a model that looks sporty, or regular glasses if you don鈥檛 want the tint and find a lightweight frame design. If you鈥檙e committed to something advertised as being designed for running or sports, look at brands like Oakley and either pick a pair with options for prescription lenses or bring it to an optometrist and have them replace the lenses with prescription ones. Or just go to a LensCrafters and check out their sport options. There are lots of glasses made for athletics.

I have tifosi optics prescription sunglasses and like them a lot.
I also have run regular tifosi and goodr sunglasses and feel tifosi is higher quality.
