to everyone wearing glasses

The goggles are the best probably. So sick. They sell them at any optomotrist.

I just take them off. I can see the bag, and that's all that really matters.

I wear glasses and have no problem with them slipping off. Sweat on the lenses is another story.

Take them into your optomertrist and they will tighten the nosepiece thing for ya.

no offense man but theres no such as contacts that cant fit to your eye...thatthey are designed specifically to fit to different eyes....when your first get them theyll be uncomfortable for a couple of weeks but after that you dont feel them at all...nowadays they have every type of contact imaginable and i bet if you try hard enough you can find a lense(sp?) that will fit your needs.

Bwahahahaha!! I have my contacts back!

I have the perfect solution for you!

They weigh nothing, so there is no slippage! So lightweight! So nice! These are athletic eyewear for Footbag!

These, are the Silhouettes!!!

There is almost no weight, therefore no slippage

Don't worry, brother. I feel your pain. I own contacts, so I wear those when I shred most the time...but when I forget to put them in, I know exactly the problems you're dealing with.

Solution: Get a sweatband/headband..It makes you look cool and you can rig it so your glasses are more secure. Also, as others have said, bend the hinges and nose-piece to make them more snug.

Happy shredding!

Yeah, I wear glasses. The only problems I've found is with spinning moves, and that's about it. I've learned how to adjust and tighten the frames and arms of my glasses for better endurance for freestyle, so I haven't had any troubles lately.

And sweat on lenses suck big time.

I take my glasses off for shredding since about one month, when I started to do more spins. After they slipped off two times I tried shredding without glasses and it works really good. I can see the bag and that's all that matters

i tried too get contacts,and they produce till a hardness degree of extra hard,but i woulkd need super extra hard,to say it in a easy way,and if i would buy one pair of them...i could probably afford a maercedes or ferrari for the money.because they would need to be made specialy for my eyes...so no contacts for me!

I have broken my galsses two times while shredding and once time while drinking.
Last time I had to pay 221 euros for fixing them.

Well - my mum paid it.

I got a free 1 year warranty on my frames.

pwned.

jordan were did u get those glasses from?*lol*

hm..i tried the bandana and headband stuff today...it worked well,but when doing consecutive butterflys it slips like shit still,i will try putting some cotton the nose flys and the arms tomorrow!

Tsiangkun · Post by **Tsiangkun** » 20 Sep 2005 10:30

It won't work.

1) To fix the glasses, they need to fit tight.
2) Tight fitting glasses get sweat on the lens.

mahhkohh · Post by **mahhkohh** » 20 Sep 2005 10:40

...u may be right...plus,attaching cotton on the nose thingies woiuld make em bigger and the glasses wont fit anymore...maybe i will get something rubber straps and at least fix it tight to the arms so it wont fly away at least!...i dont know,needing glasses sucks mayor!

mhhm, i'm wearing glasses, and of course i'm also sweating a lot, still i never experciened any kind of fear nor threat that my glasses'd fall off my nose. you should go to the optician and make the grip better/the frame tighter.

The key in shredding with glasses is not allowing yourself to sweat.

I don't have the problem with the slippage because I wear contacts all the time, but I lost my left one in a bout of drinking the other night and I can't find my lenses, so I have to wear glasses for a few days. What a bummer... I hope I'm not out of the left eye, because if I am, I'm screwed.

I noticed you got your contacts back, but next time you lose one, be an idiot like me and just wear the one you have, because you don't own glasses...It's pretty tough reading the dry-erase board in class, driving, and working in two dimensions...

As far as wearing glasses to play footbag...I'd prefer to avoid the problem and just buy contacts, cuz I can't really stand glasses for some reason. If not, get them strapped on somehow. Aren't there prescription sport goggles around? You might look dorky, but they should work.

i wear glasses too, but for me the bigger problem is the sweat on the lenses. after a short time of playing i´m sweating like hell and i can take my towel after every run to clean my glasses. that really saugt hard!! i haven´t really find the right problem fixing for that. i tried a few times playing without them, but that saugt either. you feel very different without seeing clearly. and that bit makes much in my opinion. i don´t like it!

i guess, contact lenses are the best. everyone should get one. well nowadays they can have every colour or item on it! WHY NOT GET LENSES WITH A FOOTBAG IN IT??? ask your local optics dealer.

if your glasses are good adjusted, they shouldn´t fall or slip off. if they fall off, you have a strange head.

Hm...I wear glasses but never played with them on. Perhaps I would do better with them?

So, all of you who can't play without them, are short or long sighted? I am short sighted, around 2.
