Making dioptric sports glasses

Perfect vision reduces the risk of accidents, reduces eye fatigue, improves concentration and increases performance while playing sports. Polycarbonate (unbreakable) lenses in the right frame can protect the eye during sports, unlike contact lenses which offer no protection against injury.

Protecting the eye during sport is of paramount importance, with 41% of accidents requiring hospitalisation. Sport is the most common cause of serious eye injuries. Polycarbonate lenses (either in clear or dioptric sunglasses) are lightweight and have high impact resistance. A wide range of lens types are available in polarised, bifocal, progressive and light-darkening designs.

Thanks to dioptric sports glasses, even those with less than perfect vision no longer have to go without the benefits of sports glasses.

Dioptric versions have all the essential features of their traditional counterparts. They fit the face, have an ergonomic design and are lightweight for a smooth sporting experience. They are lightweight yet durable and shatterproof. Their UV protection is second to none, so you get comfort and eye protection.

With dioptric sunglass lenses that use modern technology, you don’t have to sacrifice style, trendiness and good looks as a spectacle wearer. The lenses are fully “customized”, made in our own diopter, provide 100% UV protection and can be fitted into the most advantageous frame of your choice. They have the same properties as sunglass lenses, providing excellent optical performance and visual acuity, protecting our eyes from the harmful rays of bright light and the sun, and are suitable for all outdoor sports, walking, running, cycling. Sunglasses with dioptric lenses, of controlled protective quality, can be purchased from a specialist retailer, who will not only provide a guarantee, but also repair if necessary.

For any sport

Whether amateur or professional, there is no sport that does not require excellent vision. What is known as a safe vision corrector in everyday life – glasses, contact lenses – is far from fully able to withstand the extreme demands of sport. That’s what dioptric sports glasses are for.

Water sports, ball games, mountain climbing are all popular sports that put a lot of strain on our eyes and vision. But what do we do if we are short-sighted or have trouble seeing distant objects?

Should we give up sport?

The answer is no, wear dioptric sports glasses! Red card for street glasses. We need to know that glasses for street wear are not suitable for sports, they do not protect against sports injuries at all. They are made of toughened glass or plastic, which are resistant but not resistant to high impact, are not as robust as their sporting counterparts and do not provide the level of eye safety you would expect.

Think about it: if you hit a squash ball right, it has as much energy as a .22-calibre pistol bullet. But you could also mention a baseball, or say a badminton ball. The latter can fly through the air at up to 80 kilometres an hour. Water sports and snow activities also require special glasses, as you have to deal with the elements while playing. Sports glasses for sports. The dioptric sports glasses are characterised by a much more stable frame, with a flexible stem that perfectly follows the shape of the head and fits it, so that it does not move or fall off during sports. These glasses are typically very light, weighing only a few grams.

For winter sports enthusiasts, cross-country skiers, downhill skiers and snowboarders, there is also a huge choice of sports and dioptric glasses. And perhaps this is where fashion really comes into its own, with a myriad of lens colours and high-tech eyewear styles. Good sports glasses are made of polycarbonate, a fact that sports enthusiasts should keep in mind. The fact that polycarbonate is used in police shields and jet cockpits speaks volumes about the material’s durability. Polycarbonate glasses are also available in vision correcting versions.

Can also be worn as sunglasses

With the special tinting, most of the single-focus and progressive plastic lenses can be made into sunglasses. We have a wide choice of lenses to suit our individual needs: you can choose the lens of virtually any colour and shade you want, to suit your face shape and appearance.

Different lens tints are recommended depending on the sport, to enhance contrast and visual comfort. Sunglasses are important as they reduce glare and protect against harmful UV rays. When choosing colours and coatings, a thorough visual task analysis is carried out to determine the surrounding lighting colours and conditions.

Different colours are recommended for different activities:

for skiing, brown, red/orange, neutral grey; for golf, green, yellow, silver; for football, amber-yellow; and for water sports, polarised brown lenses. The colour of the lens of the sunglasses determines not only the visual appearance but also how well different colours can be distinguished and how sharp the vision will be when wearing the glasses. Certain coloured lenses increase contrast and therefore provide sharper vision, but they also affect the ability to distinguish colours, which can be dangerous, for example if you are driving a vehicle and cannot distinguish the colours of the traffic lights correctly. It is therefore important which lens colour you choose for which activity.

The most popular sunglass lens colours, which colour is recommended for which sport?

Orange, reddish lenses are good to use for snow sports in cloudy, overcast weather. They are great for highlighting the contours of the piste, so you can get a great view on the ski slopes, showing all the trails and bumps. It also holds its own in light fog and some sunshine. Its contrast enhancing effect makes it recommended for hunters shooting clay targets.

Reddish lenses with a pink tint have similar properties to orange lenses.

Purple coloured lenses are also recommended for hunters when shooting clay targets, provided the background is green (grass/forest).

Copper coloured lenses are popular with golfers as they highlight the golf ball against the blue sky and green grass, making it easier to follow. Blue and green lenses make it easier to follow the tennis ball.

Blue and green lenses make it easier to follow the tennis ball.

Light blue lenses are good in fog or on asphalt surfaces.

Grey lenses are the most neutral, natural and recommended for almost all sports because they have the least effect on colour saturation.

Brown lenses improve contrast (by filtering blue light) and are recommended for all snow sports. They can also be used by hunters in high light conditions.

Sunglasses with yellow lenses provide the highest contrast and sharpest vision and are recommended for target sports.In twilight and fog, contrast is greatly enhanced.

Mirrored lenses are good for use in snowy areas in bright sunlight. The mirror surface reflects a significant amount of incoming light, preventing glare and improving visual acuity and eye comfort.
