SPORTS SUNGLASSES: PRESCRIPTION SUNGLASSES: PRESCRIPTION SPORTS GLASSES: SKIING GOGGLES – UK

Extreme-eyewear.co.uk is a supplier of prescription sunglasses, from sports glasses to designer sunglasses.

High street opticians typically have a poor selection of prescription sunglasses, pushing you towards getting a normal frame with a tint. At extreme-eyewear we believe needing glasses should not stop you wearing designer and wrap around sunglasses.

For this reason we have selected sunglasses from leading brands which we can successfully fit your spectacle prescription into.

In order to achieve this we match the sunglasses curve and dimensions to your prescription.

Creating prescription sunglasses that when worn look no different to the original non-prescription sunglasses.

Our key feature is that we compensate for the shape of all our prescription sunglasses, giving you perfect vision.

This of vital importance, drivers can see clearer when reversing, cyclists can see the road curb with out any distortion, tennis players can see the ball perfectly when looking away from the centre of the lens, your vision will be smoother, sharper and more relaxed. Most prescription sunglasses suppliers do not do this so make sure you pick extreme-eyewear.co.uk.

Vision during sports is a one of the most important senses, controlling movement and coordination. Getting your sports glasses correct can make the difference between having an enjoyable sporting experience or a punishing experience.

Sports glasses not only stop dust, wind, snow, rain, and other debris from contacting your eyes but control your visual environment. By selecting the correct lens tints you can improve vision in any light condition. Stabilising your vision puts you in control.

Advanced sports glasses lenses correct the distortion normally associated with wrap around glasses. Brands such as Oakley, Adidas, Rudy Project, Bolle use class 1 optics, neutralising the bowing effect cheap sunglasses produce. By buying sports glasses with advanced optics you are relaxing your whole visual system, making your whole sporting experience more enjoyable.

Extreme-eyewear uses this distortion neutralising technology on our entire range of prescription sports glasses. Prescription sports glasses are available in either Direct Glaze or with an optical insert.

OPTICAL INSERT

The optical insert is fitted with your prescription. This insert then clips into the back of the sports sunglasses enabling you to still interchange the ‘main sunglass’ lenses with different lens colours for varying light conditions. As the insert can be removed this concept is also great for contact lens wearers.

Cosmetically you can often tell there is an insert behind the sunglasses which makes them not as pleasing as fashion prescription sunglasses but functionality-wise ideal for prescription sports glasses.

DIRECT GLAZE

The second form of correction is 'direct glazed' glasses, where your prescription is fitted into the glasses frame. Direct glazed prescription sports glasses are available from Oakley, Rudy Project, Maui Jim, Arnette, Adidas, Bolle, and Nike.

If you prefer the idea of having a direct glaze prescription sports sunglass, we suggest going for a good light contrasting lens colour, enabling you to wear the sunglasses in more varied light conditions.

Many sports require the need for goggles including swimming, skiing, and even down Hill Mountain biking.

There are three main ways to correct your vision if you require prescription goggles.

Direct Glaze Prescription Goggles

This technique is most commonly used for prescription swimming goggles. Your prescription is fitted into an empty swimming goggle frame.

For skiers and active sports wearers there are a few goggle hybrids on the market, including Adidas Elevation ClimaCool, Adidas Terrex, and Rudy Project Guardyan.

Prescription Goggles with an Optical Insert

Most commonly used for skiers as full mask goggles are fitted with a one piece lens which is impossible to direct glaze.

An optical insert is fitted with your prescription and clips inside the goggle. As the insert has no contact with your face, the ski goggle keeps its shape and fit better than wearing goggles over prescription glasses. This method is also popular for mountain biking prescription goggles.

Over the Glass Goggles

An alternative to optical inserts and prescription goggles are 'Over the glass' goggles, most commonly used for skiing. These goggles have cut-outs in the foam allowing for your prescription glasses to sit underneath the goggles.
