The eyes are great. I would definately recommend it. I always left my specs at home when out running. Hated running in them.
Money well spent.
Brilliant.
I dont mind wearing glasses on every day life, aslong as its not cold outside and then walk into a warm building and they steam up - well thats happens alot.
But, if you ever wore glasses whilst running and you where running down a fell for example, did your eyes water like a stream completetly blocking your vision. I have this and one day im going to end up falling whilst i wipe the tears away. Thats the main reason i want to ditch the glases.
Ive treid contacts but i get a headache wearing them and my vision isnt as good - and ive got bad memories of loosing them round my eyes after football matches.
This snow has been to good to pass up for a run eh? (Sprained ankle. Again. Bah!) Glad out I wasn't out on the hill proper though. I only had about a mile's hobble of shame to get back and I was flippin freezing.
I fell over tonight trying to run fast downhill in deep snow.
I nearly fell off my bike at the weekend at a junction. But managed to beat the buggering clips and got onto my feet as the bike hit the ground. Ha!
Re: Falling Over?
Not wishing to put a downer on this, but if your eyes are still changing you'll likely be wearing glasses again even after treatment. This happened to a work colleague of mine. He was free of glasses for only 2 years.
How long ago did you try contacts?
I wear all day all night lenses - I change them once a month only. They are made of silicone so adapt to the eye much better than the older lenses, and also are cheaper these days.
I hated running in glasses and am blind as a bat without them!

Happens to me as well, Al. Bad when i'm up in the clouds. Glasses make Mountain bikeing crap too. I'm going to try contacts.

I waited four years to make sure my prescription was stable. Optician man did tell me that I will need reading glasses in years to come, but I would (as most people do) need them anyway, and that would have meant two pairs of specs or bi-focals.
True yeah.Not wishing to put a downer on this, but if your eyes are still changing you'll likely be wearing glasses again even after treatment. This happened to a work colleague of mine. He was free of glasses for only 2 years.

I last used them hmmm, 4 years ago. I used them for football so i could header and not get the glasses engraved in my face. I once tried them for playing cricket with but i couldnt see the ball.
On xmas on the fells i had to take my glasses off because i couldnt see where i was going.
I can see ok without my specs ok, i get a bad headache if im not wearing them though.
i dont wear glasses, but am wearing shades for running at the mo on hills, stops my eyes streaming in the cold, nice accident waiting to happen
