Sports sunglasses protect your eyes during outdoor activities like jogging, cycling, hiking, and fishing. They cover more of your vision than fashion sunglasses do, have a robust but lightweight build, and should fit snugly to help avoid sliding off while you adventure outside. Many sports sunglasses have special features that can offer additional benefits:
- Polarized sunglasses: Polarized lenses may reduce not only the intensity of the light but the glare as well, potentially helping to alleviate eye strain.
- Wrap-around sunglasses: Sunglasses with wrap-around frames curve around the sides of your face, providing coverage for your peripheral vision.
For high-intensity ball and stick sports like squash and racquetball, you may want to equip yourself with a pair of sports goggles. They're also great for making a style statement, both on and off the court.
