Prescription Running Glasses? (lemmy.world)

So I have found some swimming pool googles with some generic prescription that is close enough to my day-to-day glasses that are good enough to make sure I don’t hit anything or anyone while swimming.

I can’t, however, find a similar solution for running. I rather not use contact lenses or my daily glasses for running so not asking for solutions like that.

Do you know of any generic glasses for sports/running that offer prescription lenses in some generic prescription? Thanks!

I suspect there are a few reasons the market for cycling is bigger:

  • The importance of being able to see is much higher. Before I got Lasik, I would just take my glasses off when running. I could see well enough to stay on the path and avoid other runners or walkers. Being able to see and react quickly is just more important on the bike.
  • Even normal-sighted cyclists frequently wear glasses for UV/sun protection and as a wind screen.
