[quote=Anonymous]Hi Everybody, My 7-year-old son needs to wear glasses all the time and is too young for contacts. We are relatively new to the whole eyeglasses thing. My son is getting ready to play basketball this winter and I am worried that he will pulverize his eyeglasses. I asked the guy at our eye place what my son should wear when he plays basketball. He showed me what he called sports glasses. They looked a lot sturdier than the ones my son wears all the time (and has broken twice in the past five months!) and the guy said they come with a strap. The only problem: the lenses/frames and strap cost approx $200, he said. Yikes! I'm sure they are fleecing me. Is this really how much folks spend? He went into a whole speech about how kids love wearing them. I came home and did a quick search on Amazon and saw a lot of cheaper options, but I have no idea if any of them are any good. I'd be really grateful to get some suggestions from other parents. TIA![/quote]
