playing with eyeglasses

[soccer_nurd]

I'm a goalie and am having problems with my vision since I can't really wear my glasses when I'm playing (they'll fall off when I dive and such). Do you guys have any ideas of what I can do or know of anything that I could buy that would help? (my parents won't get me contacts). Thanx

Get the Ones with the straps...and tighten them really TIGHT!

-Also, Youve been an SFN Member since March and this is your first post!! :boo: :ronaldo:

Yes, getting ones with straps is the only way to go, since it seems you can't play without them. My brother is goalkeeper and he wears glasses, but he doesn't use them while playing.

i wouldn't suggest those tight ones.. i would suggest raquetball glasses stick good.

I think that's what they meant by glasses with straps.

Why won't your parents buy you contacts?

Although I don't need glasses or contacts, I have seen many soccer players put on thier contacts before a game... I suggest you save your money if you have to because eyeglasses with straps will either make you look like Davids or worse a Skiier. :D :ronaldo:

Who cares if you look like Davids or a Skiier,

As long as it helps you kick ass on the field, it don't matter.

Ive tried all sorts of glasses, there is no substitute for contact lenses. You get full vision, unlike with glasses where you can still see the rims, so it will be better for a goalkeeper. Wearing glasses i wouldnt recommend for goalkeeping, i mean you could easily cop a ball/boot in the face and break them...

Sports Gogles????

[SaberWolf]

Yea I would DEFFINATELY suggest Sports Goggles, if you can aquire them. They're make of prescription plastic pretty much, and have about a 160* veiw, as with normal vision.

Or your glasses could break and the glass goes into your eye. Not that i've seen it happen, but a while ago when I was in Greece, I saw a fight and this dood punched this others guys sunglasses into his eye.

Hahaha, now the guy is sueing the other. The guy with the glasses shouldn't have talked shit tho.

Man....I fcuken miss Greece.

yea get goggles but you don't have to go through the trouble of getting them prescribed just wear them over your glasses, but you won't have periferial(however you spell it) vision, it will probably be tunnel vision, and you can't head with your forehead with them on, and you look gay in them, a player on my old team wore them, and he was pretty bad, i don't know if that was it, but they were always getting in the way and he couldn't see or head, and i just got glasses at the beginning of summer , but i'm only near sited at 20/40 so it's not too bad, and it makes it hard to see who has the ball but i can still tell who's who and what's happening, just a little blurry, but it sucks me up in tennis, i can' see where the ball is and it's coming so fast
