Indulging in physical activity is an important part of human life. Be it walking, running, weight training or playing any kind of sport- everything contributes to our well-being and good health. However, people like me who have high prescriptions will relate to the fact that it is difficult to workout with glasses. Also, sometimes those pesky glasses become a reason for me to miss workout sessions (one among the zillion other excuses I have). Wearing glasses while working out leads to dodgy vision, and that’s not something we want you to have. Over the years, while working in the eyewear industry and being a regular gym enthusiast, I have figured out some ways to reduce the struggle of wearing glasses and improve the frequency of workouts. In this blog, we will discuss how you can perform a quality workout even as an eyeglass wearer.

Sports Frame Glasses

Investing in an eyeglasses frame designed for sports is great if you are into athletic activities. Sports glasses, especially those made from TR90 material, are flexible and durable. While indulging in sports or workout sessions, you might come across incidents in which normal frame glasses can break and cause injury, but the TR90 frame will not. The material is shatter-proof and specially made to cater needs of individuals involved in sports activities. They will be your safe sports partner even while performing high-intensity activities.

Well-fitting Frame

You can’t achieve your fitness goal with a loose frame. If they don’t fit you properly, they will slide around and bother you. You can either get them tightened at an optical store or buy a new pair of workout glasses that fit your needs. If your frame is oversized, then replacing it would be a smarter decision. Choose glasses that fit you perfectly and won’t create trouble when you’re working out. Sports glasses made from TR90 material offer a snug fit that stays in place even during rapid movements.

Scratch & Impact-Resistant Lenses

Not only do people involved in sports get their eyeglasses lenses impact-resistant, but everyone should. You should always make sure to get impact-resistant lenses as they have a special coating to ensure the lenses don’t shatter in case of an impact. Also, it is quite obvious to get scratches on lenses during a workout, therefore, you should get anti-scratch coating as well.

Keep Anti-Fog Cleaning Wipes Handy

While working out, it is quite common to get lenses dirty or fogged up. Dirty and fogged-up vision can interrupt your performance. A clear vision is important to prevent any injury at the gym. Foggy lenses can hamper your visual field and elevate your risk of accidents such as tripping on equipment (or a person). Therefore, it is essential to keep anti-fog cleaning wipes handy. All you have to do is take one wipe, use it in circular motions and gently clean them. Let it dry for a few seconds, and you are good to go.

Summing It Up

The right and lightweight pair of glasses is important to complement you while working out. A clear vision is needed to avoid any kind of accidents or mishappenings. Make sure to keep a note of the above-mentioned tips to ensure you are safe while working out.
