Prescription Sports Goggles Come in Handy for Lots of Things

Like most people with imperfect vision, I have always worn contact lenses and traditional glasses. I knew they made prescription wrap-around goggles for sports players, but I don't play sports, so I never even thought about purchasing them. I recently moved to a warmer climate, and I found that glasses slide off my face every time I get sweaty. I decided to try a pair of prescription goggles, and I wear them much more than I ever expected. I wear them when gardening, mowing the lawn, and even to the beach. They are so comfortable, and I never have to worry about them slipping and sliding when I get sweaty in the heat. I also love the good peripheral vision they provide that you just can't get with ordinary glasses. I made this blog to share my eyewear tips! Enjoy!
