What do football players do if they wear eye glasses?

Question: I've always wondered what pro footie players do about corrective lenses... I don't think I've ever actually seen a player wear them. Do they wear perscription goggles? Contact lenses? Laser vision correction? I would really like to know because I don't want to destroy my glasses while playing. Thanks!

Answer:
contacts or surgery

goggles and a ball to the face = pain!

There was a Belgian international, Jeff Mermans, who played in spectacles during the 1960's. And I think that one of the goalkeepers in the 1924 FA Cup Final also wore glasses. Nobby Stiles, who played for Ingerland in the 1966 World Cup Final and Manchester United, was one of the first footballers to wear contact lenses.
