Get a pair of sports goggles

My daughter hated the sport goggles. We went to Lenscrafters and got her the Oakleys, one pair shaded and another pair with clear lenses. Insurance paid for most of the clear, paid about half on the shades.

I know there not cheap, and people worry about scratching them up, but for the $45, the insurance covers everything. For her wearing 3 pairs of both the past 4 years we only ever had to use the insurance twice. Hers have held up well for softball.

Lenscrafter also let us bring in mask, and helmet to try on the different glasses before deciding.

My daughter made the move this past summer to daily contacts and it worked out real well for us. We always take an extra set to tourneys in case of dust or lenses popping out, but didn't have any issues last year. If you go with daily lenses, your eye Dr may give you a some to try for free or a minimal cost to make sure your dd likes them before making the commitment.

The pro's of wearing contacts in today's game out-way the cons. If contacts are not an option be sure to get the sport goggles or safety glasses and opt for the no scratch treatment on the lens. Not a cure all but better than nothing.

I agree 100% with Khoch23 and daboss. Give contacts a try, unless for some reason that is not an option. In my experience most places will give you a trial set or 2. You will find they are a lot more comfortable and your dd will not be constantly playing with or readjusting them. Just make sure to bring lots of saline solution to the field.

Sports goggles or contacts. Glasses move around too much.
