Glasses for football players
Football glasses and goggles
Glasses for football players have multiple benefits. The speed of the ball and close physical contact with other players can make football a risky sport for those that wear glasses. Prescription football glasses and goggles combine eye protection and vision correction, helping to keep yourself and other players safe on the pitch.
We provide prescription football glasses and goggles for adults and children from leading sports eyewear brands Bolle, and Inland.
Key features of prescription football glasses
As specialists in prescription sports eyewear, we can help you to identify your requirements and choose the right eye protection and vision correction.
Here are some unique features of football glasses that you might consider:
Polycarbonate or plexiglass lenses
Impact resistant lenses that are tested to British Standards and are able to sustain the impact of a ball or another player’s finger or limb.
Sports temples
A specially designed temple (the bit that goes behind your ear) provides extra grip, helping to hold your frames in place.
Sports strap
An elasticated strap (or band) that fits snugly around your head, preventing your frames from slipping and securing the frame in front of your eyes. Sports straps or bands are recommended by The FA.
Who should wear football glasses?
Most football glasses and goggles are suitable for glasses wearers with a prescription of up to +13 / -18 with an opposite cyl (astigmatism) to 4.50.
We also offer football eyewear with non-prescription lenses, suitable for football players who wear contact lenses, or those that require additional protection for medical reasons.
Over the history of the beautiful game, there have been many famous faces wearing football glasses, with Edgar Davids being one of the most well known. He made them part of his look on and off the pitch, famously saying “I wear them because they give me security, even if they are not needed.”
Football glasses for children
Sports glasses have been designed for children to provide maximum comfort and a safe, secure fit when worn for football.
If your little one is prone to breaking their spectacles, we can provide prescription children’s eyewear that can be used for all types of sport, including football, within our Active Kids range.
These flexible frames help to ensure your little kickers can join in with their favourite activities safe in the knowledge their glasses won’t break.
We also can supply the popular Bolle Swag in children’s sizes.
