I ran hundreds of miles with 5 pairs of prescription sports sunglasses — these are the best ones to buy
Ditch the contact lenses and get a set of proper sports sunglasses for the best experience during runs and other workouts.
If you suffer from short- or long-sightedness and enjoy an active lifestyle, prescription sports sunglasses can revolutionize your workouts. After testing various pairs, I've identified five of my favorites that make each exercise more enjoyable. I have three sets of Zenni Optical's Zunnies Wrap-Around Sports Sunglasses, which deliver excellent value for money.
These lightweight wraparounds maintain a secure fit during runs of any length without causing discomfort, and they come in a variety of lens styles and tints, all under $150. Ombraz's Teton sunglasses use a cord to ensure a comfortable fit and are suitable for indoor runs, bike rides, and night runs with photochromic lenses. The Teton with prescription lenses is pricier, but they offer a stylish design and pack away easily in a flat case.
Rudy Project's Rydon Slim sunglasses boast an ultra-lightweight frame and customizable nosepads and arms to ensure a secure fit. They also offer photochromic lenses, making them useful during the UK's brief sunny spells. Lastly, LensDirect's Diablo Topspin sunglasses are another premium option that delivers top-class lenses in an extremely light frame, catering to various prescription needs, including the optical dock setup for users with high prescriptions.
