Sports eyewear with Dr. Craig Fellers

Dr. Fellers brings his interest in cycling, triathlon, and running to conversations about practical eyewear. We discuss your working distance, light conditions, helmet fit, wind exposure, and any problems you notice during activity. Meet Dr. Fellers.

Sport sunglasses

Look for documented UVA and UVB protection, a stable fit, and comfortable coverage. Lens darkness alone does not establish UV protection. Polarized lenses can reduce reflected glare, but their interaction with displays and the visual demands of the sport should be considered. Tint preference and comfort do not prove a competitive performance advantage.

Golf

We help choose a comfortable frame and a prescription that works for distance, the ground, and scorecards. Discuss whether a tint or polarized lens changes your view of the course in a way you like. Trying a lens in realistic conditions is more useful than promising it will improve your score.

Tennis, softball, and baseball

These sports require impact protection as well as clear vision. Ordinary sunglasses and everyday glasses are not substitutes for protective eyewear rated for the specific sport. We can discuss prescription options that work with appropriate protective equipment.

Cycling

Coverage helps shield eyes from wind, dust, and insects. Frame height matters when looking up from a riding position, and wrap designs may need prescription compensation. Check that the frame works with your helmet and that the lenses suit changing light conditions. Read our original sports-eyewear article.

Running

A light, secure frame that stays comfortable with sweat is often useful. We discuss UV protection, coverage, and lenses appropriate for the time of day and terrain. Avoid lenses that are too dark for the available light.

Vision skills and realistic expectations

We can assess prescription, alignment, and focusing concerns and treat a diagnosed visual problem when appropriate. Evidence for training exercises improving real-world sports performance varies by method and outcome; we do not promise faster reactions or a competitive advantage from a particular lens or exercise.
