    During the winter, mine fog bad enough that the solve is worse than the problem. I have a pair of sunnies and oversize night glasses for the rest of the year, courtesy of a couple online places.

    These are my night glasses. They block dust being kicked up and I wouldn't be caught dead wearing them for any other reason aside from maybe a Halloween costume.

    The only time I don't wear my glasses is when I'm sitting in my room at home. Don't really give them a second thought when I'm working out.

    i go blind. althought i dont really need them to function. i only have astigmatism. i can read etc with out them, just that everything is fuzzy so my eyes strain harder to be able to focus. i can also read things better at a distance with them on. if i go without them for too long i get a headache, but working out where im not doing a lot of reading (just checking my weights log and writing it) i can easily last the 90 minutes needed.

    I would probably break my glasses with my incredible clumsiness if I tried to work out or run with them. Doesn't help that I wear big, nerdy 'goggles' hahah. :blushing:

    I wear contacts for work as its hard to wear my prescription glasses under safety glasses, so I just keep them in when I work out or run. I have less of a problem with sweat when I'm wearing contacts than glasses, and contacts don't fog up or fall off my nose making me look like a librarian!

    I had lasik in 2006, before that I used to take my glasses off because they would usually fall off. Although I wear sun glasses if running outside.

    I wear my glasses all the time, if I'm doing cardio I might take them off for a bit. I wear them in the pool too, I hate not being able to see!

    I never wear my glasses when I exercise. If I go running or biking I'll wear my contacts. If I workout at home, I'm fine
    with not seeing very far. :)

    I have contacts, but I wear my eyeglasses when I exercise. I even wear them when I jog.

    I wear my glass pretty much all the time, including when I'm working out. They're pretty well-fitted, so I don't have any trouble with them flying off or anything. They do fog up sometimes, but usually not all the way, so I can ignore it pretty easily.

    I honestly never thought about it. I need my glasses to see, so I wear them. I usually do workout DVDs, and although I've got them all but memorized, I still feel like I need to see them.

    My eyesight is terrible, but for some reason, I really dont like wearing my glasses when I workout! So I just go without. I think it's when I sweat, I dont like having them stuck around my face lol

    I wear my contacts when I run - because I sweat and my glasses always slip down my nose and its really annoying.

    But for everything else I'm happy in my glasses, weights or stationary bike, row etc.

    I have prescription goggles for swimming.

    I have used both but I tend to be a big "sweater" when I do cardio so I tend to wear contacts usually as I hate sweat drops hitting my glasses. It doesn't wipe off the lenses very well.

    I don't like the feeling of trying to see without my glasses and I can't wear contacts so I work out with my glasses on. I have noticed some people pulling theirs off at my gym but I feel like I'd break mine.

    I always wear them while exercising, otherwise I would get headaches.

    Working out at home and without my glasses. Few times they came flying off or just slipped off while in a plank so it's safer to not wear them.

    I keep them on, unless it's something with a ball.
