Soccer Glasses

Soccer calls for eyewear that stays secure, offers clear vision, and provides dependable protection through active play. Sporteyes features soccer glasses and soccer goggles for kids, teens, and adults, with sizes ranging through adult large and frame options that include both glasses-style and goggle-style designs.

Prescription-ready soccer eyewear is also available for players who need corrective lenses on the field. Current options include direct in full lens and Rx insert mounting types, making it easier to compare sport frames based on prescription needs as well as fit. Many styles are grouped under ASTM ball sports protection, which aligns well with soccer, though some products may be rated differently. Product details should always be reviewed for the exact safety rating, coverage, and frame construction before purchasing.

FAQs

1. What soccer glasses or goggles should I choose for protection during play?
Start with the right size and the right level of coverage. Sporteyes’ soccer guide recommends ASTM safety rated styles with close facial coverage, padding, and a secure sports band for better on-field protection.

2. Can I get soccer eyewear with prescription lenses?
Yes. Use the filters to narrow down options available with prescription.  You can also further narrow down styles with how high your prescription is (sphere and cylinder limits) and by size (adult versus kids).

3. Do these styles meet the right safety standard for soccer?
Most do as this is what Sporteyes recommends. If unsure, use the filter to narrow down by ASTM rating.

4. What should I look for in lenses?
Sporteyes’ soccer guide recommends polycarbonate lenses because they are built for impact protection in sports eyewear.  If playing indoors and at night choose a clear lens. If playing outside, a brown based lens will make the soccer ball “pop” more.  Transitions (light changing) lenses are an option as well. 

5. Are soccer glasses and soccer goggles the same thing?
Essentially.  Goggles typically refers to styles with a full strap (no earpieces) where glasses are usually referred to with the earpieces and a strap that attaches to the back of the earpiece. This is just a style preference. Both function identically.

Sporteyes Prescription Symbols Guide

• RX8: Full prescription lenses built directly into the frame. Best for full-wrap styles.
• RX6: Prescription lenses built directly into the frame, but with less wrap. Better for higher prescriptions.
• RXADT: Prescription inserts that sit behind the glasses.
• Direct inserts: Lens carriers that hold the prescription lens. These may have a full plastic rim or a nylon “fishing wire” cord, so they can look more rimless while still holding higher prescriptions.
