[quote=Anonymous]If he is old enough, contacts. Glasses will interfere with many sports as he gets older so I would talk to the eye doctor to see if he’s old enough, or what the appropriate age might be.

I was a softball catcher and I had the same issue. I don’t know if the “never take the mask off” consensus is just for young kids or if that changes as they get older (I played ball since I was 8 but only caught since age 13 or so) but at least at junior high and high school level I was always taught to ditch the mask whenever the ball went into play. It’s easier to see and less distracting.

FWIW, I was also a cross country runner and the times I would wear glasses, they bothered me a lot. They were always sliding down my nose. I’m sure it’s the same issue for track, soccer, basketball, and any other sport with a lot of running. Also, I’ve been hit in the face with a softball while wearing glasses (simply while warming up playing catch) and they cut my face. I know sports glasses are supposed to minimize that but if he’s able to get contacts I would just go straight to that. [/quote]
