Abstract
A pair of sports training eyeglasses is provided for training a user to keep his/her eye on a ball while hitting either a stationary ball, e.g. in golf or hockey, or a moving ball, e.g., in baseball and softball. The pair of sports training eyeglasses have a pair of lenses, each lens having an opaque peripheral region and a viewing aperture, and a frame having an elongated bridge bar having opposite ends, a pair of opposing temporal side members extending from respective ends of the elongated bridge bar, a means for adjusting the position of each temporal side member in relation to the elongated bridge bar, a movably nose piece, a means for removably attaching each lens to the elongated bridge bar, wherein the position of each lens is adjustable in relation to the nose piece, and a means for locking the position of each lens on the elongated bridge bar. A first set of lenses is provided having an oval shaped viewing aperture and is used in training a user to hit a moving ball. A second set of lenses is provided having a viewing aperture being an elongated slit that is rotatable between a vertical orientation for fitting the lenses on a user and a horizontal orientation for training the user to hit a stationary ball. A method is also provided wherein a user adjusts the pair of eyeglasses to a comfortable fit, wears the pair of eyeglasses, adjusts the position of the lenses, locks the position of the lenses, and trains in hitting either a moving ball or a stationary ball depending on whether the first set of lenses or the second set of lenses are installed, respectively.
