Sports Vision

Whether you are an elite athlete, amateur or simply enjoy sport to keep fit socially , your vision has a huge impact on you sucess and enjoyment of your chosen sport.

At Vision Care Opticians, we can give you accurate and relevant advice whatever your sport. Whether you wear glasses or not, your ability can be enhanced with the correct lens type for your sport and we offer the specialized tints to improve their function.

Sports eyewear frames and lenses should be as close to unbreakable as possible. Protection is vital for cycling eyewear in terms of the sun, wind, dust, insects and road debris, therefore there is a need to blend toughened polycarbonate lenses with a tint to match your usual environment, but all in a highly wrapped frame to maximise peripheral vision and protect your eyes from the elements. The ideal tint will depend on the conditions you tend to cycle in.

For those who want protection purely on bright days, consider polarising options as they have been specifically designed to eliminate glare and reflections of the road.

Alternatively, if you want something to help out in lower light conditions, where wind protection is as important as brightness, light enhancing yellow and orange lenses should be considered whatever the choice you go for, full UV protection is a must.

So, whether you are a road racing cyclist, mountain biker, cricketer, golfer, squash player, gaelic footballer or take part in any other sport, you should not under estimate the importance of all round vision and eye protection.

Contact lenses are often the correction of choice in sport, providing clear stable “all round vision” without any limitations from a spectacle frame.
