Prescription Running Glasses? (lemmy.world)

So I have found some swimming pool googles with some generic prescription that is close enough to my day-to-day glasses that are good enough to make sure I don’t hit anything or anyone while swimming.

I can’t, however, find a similar solution for running. I rather not use contact lenses or my daily glasses for running so not asking for solutions like that.

Do you know of any generic glasses for sports/running that offer prescription lenses in some generic prescription? Thanks!

You'll probably have more luck if you look for prescription cycling glasses - all of which should also be good for running. The market just seems to be bigger for cycling, to the extent I've often seen prescription glasses advertised in cycling magazines, but I can't recall ever seeing glasses marketed at runners

Also I think there's just more interest from cyclists. I've considered getting prescription cycling glasses to deal with the wind when I'm on my bike, but I just run in my regular glasses - but I've got plastic frames so no nose pads to discolor. And I don't run very fast, lol.
