Prescription Glasses for tennis

[SteveXtreme1978]

I have bad eyesight and need to wear glasses. Been looking at glasses I can wear to play tennis in, my prescription is quite high therefore will need full frame glasses. Any recommendations?

I am like you (super nearsighted and some astigmatism), but if at all medically possible, use contact lenses, the peripheral vision gain is a big deal

I wear my normal glasses and just add a sports strap. Add a baseball cap or visor when it's sunny.

Same boat. ROKA is great, all their frames are meant for sports and activity. Not super expensive either. I bought 1, then bought sunglasses soon after as well.

Yeah I also have ROKA glasses and they work great. Best to find them when they are doing a sale as they can be quite a bit cheaper. I also have a regular pair and then a pair of sunglasses. It's a bit odd to get used to wearing them if you haven't worn glasses while playing before. ROKA are made for sports but I've also tried my regular glasses and they worked fine also, and I've played with and against a number of people who just wear regular glasses.

Oakley Chamfer MNP and Litebeam is good for me.

Noy too curvy (quite flat) so will not have distortion. Plus, they have 3 nosepad, so you can tune in the fit.

I use daily disposable contact lenses - they work tremendously well - but you have to find a brand & model that workds for you - I could only adapt well to top of line "Total 1"

OTOH, because I don't use them all day and only during my tennis outings, I can wear them 3 times...

OTOH I found I simply cannot even hit the ball on serves anymore if playing wearing glasses...

+1 on ROKA. I've been using them for a year and they are great.

I've been through a pair of Oakley Flak Jacket and now use a pair of Racing Jacket. I strongly advise you to use contacts instead of glasses if you can, as the curvature of the lens can distort vision a bit. I personally cannot, which is why I use sports glasses instead.
