Anybody knows if there is special eyeglass for the football players?

My son is 9 years old and uses eyeglass. He is in the football team and finds it difficult to wear the eyeglass with the helmet. Since he is small he can't wear the contact lenses also. Anybody knows if there is special eyeglass for the football players? Are helmet facemask and vizors are the same?

When I was young and played football I had to wear sports goggles. They are basically heavy duty eyeglasses with an elastic band that you wear. I found them quite uncomfortable however. Most of the time I would just play without glasses. I was a lineman though and I only needed to see the guy in front of me. If your son is an offensive back of any kind, a defenseman, or a kicker, he'll need to see. Facemasks are the protective cages in front of your face. Visors are the plastic things they put in the facemask to block the sun.
