Yes, you can wear your glasses with goggles.
Advancements in goggle design have made it possible for people who wear glasses to comfortably use goggles for various activities. This means you don't have to compromise on clear vision while enjoying sports or other activities that require eye protection.
Goggles Designed for Eyeglasses
Many modern goggles are now designed with features that accommodate eyeglasses, making it easier for people who require vision correction to use them. Here's how:
-
Over-the-Glasses (OTG) Design: Many goggles are specifically made to fit comfortably over prescription glasses. These OTG goggles often have a larger frame and a deeper lens area, allowing glasses to fit inside without pressure or discomfort.
-
Foam Cutouts: OTG goggles often feature foam cutouts along the temple area. This prevents your glasses' arms from pressing uncomfortably against your head.
Considerations When Wearing Goggles with Glasses
While wearing glasses with goggles is generally possible, some things to consider include:
- Size and Fit: Ensure your goggles are properly sized to fit over your glasses without being too tight, which can cause discomfort or distort vision.
- Lens Compatibility: Check that the goggle lens will not interfere with the performance of your glasses. Look for goggle lenses that minimize glare and provide clear vision.
- Anti-fog Properties: Goggles that fit over glasses can sometimes be prone to fogging. Look for goggles with anti-fog coating or ventilation features to keep vision clear.
- Proper Adjustment: Adjust the goggle strap to fit comfortably and securely. If the goggles are too loose, they may move around; if too tight, it may cause pressure on your face and glasses.
Advantages of OTG Goggles
- Safety: Wearing goggles over glasses protects your eyes from impact, debris, and other hazards.
- Convenience: Avoids the need for prescription goggles or contact lenses.
- Clear Vision: Enjoy activities with both the protection of goggles and the sharp vision you need from your prescription glasses.
In summary, if you wear glasses, you don't need to worry about not being able to use goggles, as advancements in goggle design have made it possible for glasses-wearers to enjoy their favorite outdoor activities while keeping their eyes safe and their vision clear.
