Contacts vs Glasses

I'd go with laser surgery.  I had it done like 15 years ago and had great results.  And techniques are so much better now.

 

If you don't want to do that, I like the contacts better.  Personal preference.

Both my boys wear contacts.  They have glasses for tv at home, etc. but would never even think of playing in them.  They can tell when their prescription changes (can't see to bat as well) and we go have them change the lenses.  They wear daily disposable, we don't mess with solution or cleaning or anything else.  They want the eye surgery one day, but our ophthalmologist won't consider it until they are adults.

Our son recently got contacts and glasses.  Only wears the contacts on game day - glasses while driving, work or home.

 

Says he is seeing the ball much better.  Before it was a white blur - now he can pick out the threads.

Son has been wearing daily wear contacts since 4th grade.  Playing in the rain with glasses doesn't work real well  He was playing catcher at the time and contacts worked much better.

 

I make sure he has an extra pair or two in his bat bag as well as his glasses when he travels.  I keep an extra pair with me 'just in case'.

 

We make sure his eyes are examined in February before the HS season starts.  His prescription changes every year so surgery is out for a while (spouse had it done years ago and loves it!)

 

I don't see many at the HS level playing in glasses.  At the WWBA tourney this week, of the few games I attended, I don't think I saw any players wearing glasses.
