Cycling Sunglasses - The Benefits of Wearing the Right Ones

Cycling Sunglasses - The Benefits of Wearing the Right Ones

Cycling sunglasses are less an accessory, more an essential piece of equipment. When cycling in the open, the eyes are exposed to harmful UV rays as well as increased wind resistance and other elements like flying dirt, debris, dust etc which can prove to be quite detrimental to eye health. Cycling sunglasses provide excellent protection for the eyes and help to provide top clarity vision.

When choosing a pair of cycling sunglasses there are a number of factors to consider including, the type of conditions that you regularly ride in (which could determine which lens colour to purchase), the shape of your face (which could determine which style to buy) and whether or not you want cycling sunglasses with interchangeable lenses (which could determine which brand to buy).

Sports Shades Online has a wide range of Adidas cycling sunglasses and Oakley cycling sunglasses to choose from and many of them feature interchangeable lens designs so that you can purchase different accessory lenses for different environments.

UV Rays are an important factor to consider when purchasing cycling sunglasses. As you will be out and about on your bike for long periods of time, your eyes are going to be at risk from damage brought on by exposure to UV Rays, including macular degeneration, photokeratosis, conjunctivitis and pterygia. Epidemiologic evidence suggests that blue light-blocking lenses could benefit those with macular degeneration by preventing it progressing1. Many of the Oakley cycling sunglasses available are designed to protect against harmful blue light and many of the Adidas cycling sunglasses available have LST Blue Light-Filter lenses which also offer incredible protection, against disorders brought on by exposure to UV Rays and can help to prevent macular degeneration.

Choosing the right lens colour for your cycling sunglasses is another important decision. There are three different categories of lenses available; Category 1 Lenses are Yellow lenses and Orange lenses which offer little sun protection but enhance light. Category 2 are lenses such as the Adidas Light lenses which enhance light while offering more sun protection than Category 1. Category 3 Lenses are Dark Brown and Grey lenses and offer protection in bright sunlight, some of which come with a mirror coating. Other types of lenses include Polarized lenses which reduce glare but can reduce contrast. Adidas LST Active lenses are category 3 but have a brightening effect. Transitions lenses are great for going from light to shade as they automatically darken and lighten outdoors according to the conditions. Sports Shades Online has a wide range of interchangeable lenses for all of the cycling sunglasses available, including dark brown lenses, green lenses and Blue Light-Filter lenses.

If you wear prescription sunglasses there are many options available, including direct glazing or prescription inserts for many of the cycling sunglasses available from Sports Shades Online. Prescription sunglasses don't have to limit you; in fact they can open up a whole world of customised cycling sunglasses. As Sports Shades Online are part of the independent opticians, Mayer & Mayer Optometrists Ltd, they can supply you with prescription lenses for many of the cycling sunglasses available on the site.
