For those not blessed with 20/20 vision, your daily outdoor sports routine takes on an extra level of hassle–whether it’s putting in contacts in order to wear your favorite pair of sunglasses or simply giving in to not being able to ready the guidebook when out hiking. Last week, Smith announced a new online prescription eyewear program to help you see more clearly with less hassle, whether for everyday glasses wear or sun protection outdoors.

In the most dire of conditions, I suck it up and go without.
