BEST PRESCRIPTION SPORTS GLASSES

Our list of the best prescription sports glasses is tried-and-true, and each frame has been tested by Sports Opticians. Here’s the scoop on what we think are the best perks and biggest challenges for each.

OAKLEY FLAK 2.0 XL

Men’s Medium, Women’s Large

The Oakley Flak 2.0 XL is one of our top recommendations for prescription sports sunglasses. It combines Oakley's renowned performance technology with a range of impressive features. The lightweight O Matter™ frame material and Three-Point Fit system provide all-day comfort and balanced weight distribution. The Unobtanium™ rubber grips become grippier as you sweat, keeping the glasses securely in place during intense activities. PRIZM™ lenses, which work for a wide range of prescriptions, provide an enhanced visual experience. To learn about all the PRIZM™ lens options, check out our Oakley PRIZM™ Lenses Guide.

In addition to Oakley's proprietary features, the semi-rimless frame of the Oakley Flak 2.0 XL is specifically designed to sit higher on your face. This prevents fogging, keeping your vision clear throughout your activities. And just when you thought that was enough, the Flak 2.0 XL allows you to effortlessly swap out the lenses to cater to different sports and lighting conditions.

While it may come at a higher price point, the Flak 2.0 XL is definitely worth the investment for athletes seeking the remarkable difference that high-quality sports glasses make. And for those looking for a limited edition color, don't forget to explore the Oakley/SportRx Exclusive Flak 2.0 XL. It’s a Matte Carbon frame, only available at SportRx.

Shop Oakley Flak 2.0 XL

Pro Note:

The “XL” in Flak 2.0 XL refers to the lens's extended height. This extra lens height gives even more coverage than its previous 2.0 counterpart. The Flak 2.0 XL comes with an extra set of interchangeable nose pads for those with a narrower or shallower nose bridge. But keep in mind that they’re not adjustable. Thankfully, if you love everything about the Flak 2.0 XL but have a hard time fitting into the standard size, Oakley makes the Flak 2.0 with a low bridge fit—also called Asian or universal fit. This style has shorter lenses and a wider nose bridge, and works great for those who have a flatter nose and higher cheekbones. The Flak also comes in an XS for those with small faces, and an even smaller XXS for your future athletic star.

Lastly, for the absolute highest prescriptions, you can now get the exclusive Flak 2.o XL with a high Rx dock—only at SportRx.

Oakley Flak 2.0 XL Pros

• Semi-rimless frame provides a wide view
• Wrap around lenses shields your eyes from wind and debris
• Unobtanium™ earsocks and nose pads hold the frame in place
• Three-Point Fit system distributes the frame’s weight for all-day comfort
• Available with Rx-able PRIZM™ lens technology

Oakley Flak 2.0 XL Cons

• Nose pads don’t adjust
• Hefty price point

WILEY X GAMER

Men’s Medium, Women’s Medium-Large

Are you ready to elevate your game to new heights? Look no further than Wiley X Gamer prescription sports glasses, which are ideal for intense sports. The Gamer’s straight-back, slim temple design makes it helmet compatible. It also comes with a removable elastic strap, transforming it into the perfect combination of football glasses and sports goggles.

The Wiley X Gamer is no ordinary sports eyeglass. It's ASTM F803 certified, meaning it meets rigorous standards for impact resistance. With polycarbonate lenses that are highly durable, the Gamer ensures maximum protection. What's more, it can accommodate most prescriptions, catering to a wide range of vision needs.

It's worth noting that the frame's shape may not be universally flattering as the lenses are short and wide. But if uncompromising impact protection is your top priority, then the Wiley X Gamer is the ultimate choice for you.

SPORTRX KODA

Men’s Medium, Women’s Large

Don’t let the casual look fool you. Whether you're taking a leisurely bike ride, hitting the trails, or soaking up the sun at the beach, SportRx Koda sunglasses are your ultimate companion for all kinds of outdoor adventures.

So, what sets the SportRx Koda apart from the rest? For starters, it's crafted from eco-friendly bio-resin material to give you a lightweight, yet durable construction that keeps you comfortable during all-day activities. The rubberized grip on the temples and nosepad guarantee a secure fit without compromising on comfort, so you can wear them for extended periods.

And let's talk about that keyhole bridge design. Not only does it add a stylish touch, but it also minimizes fogging, ensuring clear vision even in challenging conditions. And the wayfarer design complements various face shapes, providing a flattering look that boosts your confidence.

The Koda has a 6-base curvature, which means it doesn't wrap around and offer the same coverage as other frames on our best prescription sports glasses list. If you need extra protection on the side for blocking out debris or sunlight, check out the 8-base frames we list here.

But here's the real game-changer. When you choose SportRx Koda frames, you'll receive FREE Single Vision prescription lenses at no extra cost! And the options don't stop there. You can also upgrade to digital, bifocal, or progressive lenses, tailoring them precisely to your visual needs. With a wide selection of sport optimized lenses to choose from, you can truly customize your eyewear to enhance your performance and style.

RUDY PROJECT RYDON + RX DOCK

Men’s Large, Women’s Extra-Large

Get ready to meet your high prescription eyewear dream team—Rudy Project Rydon + Rx Dock. These glasses are built to handle even the most complex prescriptions with ease. Thanks to their top-notch lens design, you'll feel like you're sporting a sleek wrap frame while enjoying the added benefit of prescription compatibility.

The Rydon + Rx Dock incorporates the fantastic frame technology that made the original Rydon so popular. It’s designed with your comfort in mind. The Rydon + Rx Dock features highly adjustable rubber nose pads and temples, allowing you to customize the fit to perfection. This is especially helpful for those who struggle to find a comfortable fit with traditional eyewear options.

Now, the game-changer—the Rx Dock. This clever feature discreetly conceals the thickness of your lenses behind the rim of the clip for a clean and polished look. The frame is crafted from lightweight and durable TR90 Grilamid®, making it ‌perfect for long hours of wear. It also offers exceptional impact resistance, making sure your eyes stay protected in the face of collisions, impacts, and falls.

There is a notable difference in the original Rydon and the Rydon + Rx Dock design. The original Rydon features a semi-rimless design, which offers a more unobstructed view, but it falls short when it comes to strong prescriptions. The Rydon + Rx Dock, on the other hand, is specifically designed to accommodate high prescriptions, making it ideal for athletes who require both exceptional sports eyewear and significant vision correction. While it may not provide the same open view as the original Rydon, its high rx-ability makes it a standout performer.

If you need sports eyewear that can keep up with your most intense games while addressing your strong prescription needs, the Rudy Project Rydon + Rx Dock is the clear MVP. You’ll experience the perfect blend of performance, vision correction, and style.

OAKLEY PORTAL X

Men’s Medium-Large, Women’s Large

Oakley Portal X prescription sports glasses seamlessly integrate Oakley's exceptional materials and craftsmanship with a timeless frame design. Its rectangular shape and curved edges exude a classic aesthetic that effortlessly transitions between sports activities and everyday leisure. Its 6-base wrap provides an unexpectedly generous amount of coverage, effectively shielding your eyes from sunrays attempting to penetrate from the sides of the glasses.

We found the temples on the Portal X to be slightly uncomfortable when wearing certain helmets. Also, those who typically wear larger frames may experience a slightly tighter fit with the Portal X. But despite these minor drawbacks, dedicated fans of the Portal X remain steadfast in their loyalty, praising the frame's performance and declaring it their ultimate choice.

Skeptics have been pleasantly surprised by how awesome they look while wearing them. And, of course, you can expect Oakley’s exceptional quality with features such as the durable O-Matter frame and the comfortable Unobtanium™ nose pads and earsocks that Oakley is known for.

While the Crosslink Zero may not provide the same 8-base wrap around fit as the Portal X, it offers a versatile 6-base frame design. It’s not ideal for high-contact sports, but it’s perfect for activities like pickleball, running, or soccer to keep you looking sharp while you work up a sweat!

If the Nike Adrenaline was too large for you, you can now experience its sought-after sports technology with the Nike Rabid 22. This compact version of the beloved Adrenaline features an 8-base wrap, just like the Rabid 2. The new and improved Rabid 22 takes things up a notch with its lightweight and durable frame material. It’s built with reliable screw-free cam hinges designed for long-lasting performance. Once you find your ideal fit by adjusting the temples, the hinges stay secure without loosening or widening over time. And if you're looking for a unique touch, SportRx offers an exclusive colorway that you won't find anywhere else—Exclusive Matte Slate.

If you have a narrower nose, you might experience some slipping with the Rabid 22 due to its wider nose bridge. When the fit is right, these sunglasses are ideal for running and other activities. Its prescription Sport Optimized Lenses are tailored to your vision needs, so you can enjoy crisp and clear views ahead.

SPORTRX HUCKSON

Men’s Medium-Large, Women’s Large

The universally flattering SportRx Huckson is a versatile frame that excels in both style and functionality. Despite its lifestyle design, it doesn't compromise on eye protection during intense activities and games. The Huckson's large lenses are great for shielding your eyes from intense UV rays. It also has rubber detailing on the nose pads and inside the temples for a secure hold during activity. ‌SportRx Sport Optimized Lenses excel at handling even the most complex prescriptions, all while adding a touch of individualized style. As a bonus, you can take advantage of a FREE single vision prescription to complement these outstanding lenses.

It's worth noting that if you have a medium-sized face, the Huckson may provide a slightly oversized look, which may not suit everyone's preference. Regardless of aesthetics, the rubber grips and lightweight construction ensure optimal comfort and clear vision, so you can tackle any challenge with confidence.

NATIVE EYEWEAR KODIAK

Men’s Medium, Women’s Large

With a diverse selection of colorways, Native Eyewear Kodiak sunglasses cater to a variety of style preferences, ranging from bold and vibrant to subtle and understated. This means you can find the perfect match for your unique style. On top of that, the Kodiak excels in extreme temperatures and performs well no matter the conditions. So, if you like challenging yourself to endure scorching heat or freezing cold, bring it on.

The Kodiak’s hinges may feel somewhat fragile. With that being said, this doesn’t impact its overall durability or performance. Another thing to note is that individuals with larger faces or those seeking greater coverage might find the lens size of these prescription sports glasses to be relatively small. But for those who prefer a more compact fit, this might not be a big drawback.

Parents appreciate the excellent coverage and wide field of vision provided by these glasses, which is hard to find on prescription sports glasses for kids. What makes the Fierce stand out is its compacted adult design, allowing kids to match their parents' style.

The rubberized nose pads and temple tips of these youth prescription sports glasses make sure that the glasses stay in place and on your kid's face. This could also mean that they may not fit under certain helmets. Nevertheless, these glasses can significantly improve your child's performance, particularly in sports such as baseball, soccer, and racquetball.

FEATURES OF THE BEST PRESCRIPTION SPORTS GLASSES

Sports glasses come in an assortment of styles and colors. Add on prescription lenses and things get even more exciting! But not all sports glasses are created equally. There are two important things to consider when choosing the right glasses for your sport. They’ll give you the greatest advantage for seeing even quick or small details.

Here's a closer look at how these prescription sports glasses details can make a big difference for you and your game.

FRAME SPECS

Whether you're sprinting to the finish line, returning a mean volley, or swinging for the fences, a lightweight frame is a must. Heavy frames can lead to discomfort, slippage, readjustments, and ultimately distract you from your A-game. Opt for sports sunglasses with lightweight materials like TR90 Grilamid®, Oakley's O Matter™, and nylon. Find a fit so comfortable, you might forget you're wearing them.

Rubber grip material is another non-negotiable on your sports eyewear. Not only is it more comfortable, it keeps your frames perfectly in place—even when you break a sweat. This is particularly important for prescription sports glasses, because optical alignment is crucial in getting the most out of your Rx lenses. To prevent slippage, another option to consider is prescription sports glasses that include an elastic strap. This way, you can enjoy the advantages of both sports glasses and goggles in a single product.

You should also look for generous coverage. Not only should the lenses block UV rays‌, they should protect your eyes from wind and debris. This is important so you have a distraction-free game. Check out our prescription sports glasses wrap around frames.

LENS SPECS

There are several things to consider when searching for the perfect lenses for your prescription sports glasses. One important feature is contrast enhancement. This makes details pop, so you can better read the green or track a fly ball.

Environment, lighting, and prescription needs are all factors to consider when creating the best lenses for your situation.
