Wear glasses while training

I have to wear both, but I figure im either going to take them off or not be given time to put in contacts if it were a street situation.

I wear glasses and this has been a worry for me. The full chaos of Jui Kumite could be a problem. I might invest in some sports glasses.

Many students wears them... It's fine.

Just need to remove them before doing jump falls,rolls or close combat.

I wear my glasses to Karate. Got them knocked off during Kumite once, but other than that I haven't had a problem. Now that I've started Judo, though, I'm starting to see problems. I have to keep running over to the side of the mat to take them off and put them back on between watching demonstrations and trying stuff. It takes forever, but I literally can't see two feet in front of me without them. Even some techniques I have trouble with, like when my instructor got on his hands and knees and was having us try to turn him over and was telling me to grab a certain point over his elbow and even though i was so close to him I was touching him, I couldn't see his elbow.

I'm probably gonna to make an appointment soon to get fitted for contacts. I wore them in high school and my eyes did fine with them but I stopped wearing them because my parents told me I'd have to start paying for them myself and a month's supply was about twice as expensive then as it is now. Plus I like my glasses. They slim down my round face and take focus off the fact that I've got tiny eyes and a big nose. But I think contacts would be much better at least for martial arts. I can still wear my glasses the rest of the time.
