Sports Glasses for Optimum Performance
When it comes to sports, excellent vision is one of the key requirements for optimum performance and safety – whether you're playing golf, tennis, football or cycling. However, certain sports make particular demands on our vision: mountain bikers need special protection for their eyes from dirt and dust, while archers require special contrast-enhancing tints or targeted visual aids for specific distances.
We face challenges even when skiing or hiking, as glare and brightness can make it harder to see clearly. In other words, sports glasses must be able to do many different things and meet individual needs. When you're enjoying your favourite sport, what helps you see clearly and give your best? Your ZEISS VISION CENTER Zagreb will be happy to assist you. What should you consider when buying sports glasses?
What Are the Benefits of Sports Glasses?
Sports glasses not only look cool, but also have many useful functions - they are optimized for your eyes and your favourite sport. The perfect tint will dramatically improve your contrast perception: this means cyclists can see bumps in the road more quickly in poor light, and archers can see their targets more clearly. With the right tint, ski goggles will reduce the brightness of snow-covered terrain without limiting depth perception. This makes contours sharper, allowing you to see the terrain in front of you more clearly.
Sports glasses can do a lot for the comfort of your vision when it comes to glare protection: sunglass lenses with ZEISS DuraVision® Mirror coating not only look great, but also provide crystal-clear vision with significantly reduced glare, for example when you are high in the mountains. Comprehensive glare protection ensures more comfortable vision in bright sunlight - on the golf course or on the ski slopes, but also for cyclists or boaters. In addition to having many additional benefits, a pair of sports glasses with prescription lenses will certainly look great and provide optimum vision correction. Thanks to the Cosmetic Edge® technology from ZEISS, even wrapped frames with a high prescription are still extremely thin and allow sharp vision right to the edges of the lenses – and are also available for progressive lenses!
Did You Know?
Sun Protection
Did you know that UV radiation can impact our eyes even during cloudy weather? Throughout the year, at any time of the day, exposure to UV rays at ground level can reach up to 75 percent, even on cloudy days. That's why our spectacle lenses provide comprehensive UV protection up to a wavelength of 400 nm—including our prescription sports glasses.
Who Are Prescription Sports Glasses For?
Choosing the right sports glasses is a very personal matter. The same goes for sports glasses with prescription lenses. As previously mentioned, the requirements we place on sports glasses largely depend on the type of sport. When it comes to sports glasses, there is no "one size fits all" - but you can definitely find the ideal glasses for your sport! So, feel free to come and talk to us if you are looking for sports glasses that suit your needs.
To ensure your sports glasses fit perfectly, we recommend bringing your sporting equipment to the ZEISS VISION CENTER Zagreb. This way, the staff can check if your new glasses fit under your ski, cycling, or motorcycle helmet, as well as recommend the right tint for your lenses and check the necessary viewing distances.
UV Protection
Conventional eyeglass lenses do not fully block UV rays with wavelengths of up to 400 nm. Because of this, UV radiation passes through the lens and can damage your eyes and the skin around your eyes. That's why our ZEISS eyeglass lenses feature innovative UVProtect Technology. Learn more
Maintenance
Squeaky clean, crystal-clear lenses – who doesn’t love putting on a pair of freshly cleaned glasses? Suddenly, everything is clear and sharp again, free of dust, smudges, streaks or fingerprints. Proper care is essential: only a thorough but gentle cleaning will ensure flawless vision and longer life for your lenses. Improper cleaning can damage even the best lenses. Learn more
AdaptiveSUN
Good vision in the sunshine, glare protection, fashion statement and a great accessory for shopping, on the terrace of a café, for playing sports and for driving: sunglasses are now much more than just elegant fashion accessories! Of course, a modern pair of sunglasses must look good, but at the same time, they must also provide comprehensive UV protection that allows exceptional visual comfort in different light conditions.
