Hi guys,
I am looking for a place to buy sport glass/goggle, I've been to many places and could not find them,
I bought some online from zenni optical turns out they are not fitting my eyes.
I tried do some research on Okaley prescription glass, they look promising to me. Any of you have experience with sport glass please share your experience, where to buy them locally so I can try them on.

I was looking about 2 months ago for some sports glasses that were non-tinted as I play at night and indoors alot. I didn't want the goggle type ;)
I visited http://www.sportspecs.ca near Bayview and Sheppard. They have a bunch of the rec specs type like this (http://www.sporteyes.biz/Eyewear-by-Brand/Rec-Specs/Rec-Specs-Slam-XL-p80.html) which are more like regular glasses like Oakleys and not the goggle type. Not what I wanted.
Then I was looking at some safety goggle type such as this (http://www.uvexrx.com/swrx/uvex-rx-safety-eyewear-productsswrxsw06.htm). Again, not what I wanted, but I ended up buying a pair for my woodworking in my shop!
I ended up going with these (http://www.framesdirect.com/framesfp/Oakley-lfnarbl/r.html) from Good Eyes at Pacific Mall for $190. They are called Oakley Servo. I use them for sports, but I actually use them as everyday glasses as well. I couldn't go with a half-frame sunglass type for whatever reason and I couldn't get a wrap-style due to my astigmatism. They are lightweight and don't fall off too easily with all my sweating, but a strap may help alot.
Hope that helps a bit in your search for sports glasses!

I ordered some adidas adivista sunglasses, they are designed for golf, but will be using for tennis/cycling. Got transition/prescription lense so can use them at night too.

The amount you'll spend on glasses and sports glasses seems like a lot. I got my eyes done like 10 years ago for $600 per eye. :)
It doesn't have to cost $4k. Also, I think you can get a tax deduction.

Did Zenni get the prescription wrong or do they just not fit? I'm looking for some glasses my son could wear under his football helmet and with other sports. The Oakley ones actually look good but I was hoping to spend under $100 as we're still in the 'destruction' stage.

Disposable Daily Contacts. They don't shift. They give you full field of vision. Cheap if you lose one. No maintenance.
and biggest thing for me... THEY DON'T FOG.
I tried playing hockey once w/ glasses cause I forgot to wear contacts, worst time ever.

Disposable Daily Contacts. agreed this is the best solution, but we're about 2 years away from him being old enough to wear contacts >:( I can imagine glasses fogging up and that making it virtually impossible.
