Sports Glasses and Prescription Sports Glasses

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.
