Collection: Prescription sports glasses with Photochromic lenses

PRESCRIPTION SPORTS GLASSES WITH PHOTOCHROMIC LENSES

For athletes who frequently encounter changing light conditions or prefer photochromic lenses for their sports activities, many eyewear manufacturers have developed sports glasses with photochromic lenses. However, a challenge arises for those who require prescription lenses in their sports eyewear.

DEMON has addressed this challenge by introducing a specialized line of sports glasses with photochromic lenses. These glasses feature an open frame design similar to regular eyewear, but they come with a detachable clip that allows for the insertion of prescription lenses.

This clip-on solution offers an economical yet high-performance option for individuals seeking sports eyewear with photochromic lenses. It eliminates the need for costly prescription lenses that are directly incorporated into the main curved lens typically found in sports frames. The clip-on optics for sports glasses with photochromic lenses are positioned behind the main curved lens, preserving the photochromic properties of the eyewear while enabling the use of prescription lenses for optimal vision.

Technical Characteristics of Sports Glasses with Photochromic Lenses

Photochromic Lenses:

Photochromic lenses are specially designed lenses that undergo a reversible chemical reaction when exposed to UV radiation or sunlight, causing them to darken. When light exposure decreases or when entering enclosed environments, the lenses gradually return to their original transparent state. This convenience eliminates the need to constantly check weather forecasts before outdoor activities, allowing users to adapt to changing light conditions on the go.

These lenses are particularly favored by athletes, especially those engaged in activities like mountain biking and trail running, where they frequently encounter varying light conditions, such as shade and sunlight. Photochromic lenses are also popular among athletes participating in training sessions, marathons, ultramarathons, and other outdoor disciplines that involve prolonged exposure to sunlight. Additionally, they are suitable for sailing and flying activities, such as paragliding.

Within the eyewear line featuring photochromic lenses, there are three types available:

• PHOTOCHROMIC LENS 2-4: This advanced lens has a starting color that is slightly darker than that of the DCHROM® photochromic lens. At maximum activation, it can reach category 4 darkness. This lens stands out as the top-performing photochromic option for hikers and mountaineers, providing significantly greater protection in the extreme light conditions typical of high-altitude mountain environments compared to other lenses, making it ideal for these specific sports.

PHOTOCHROMIC LENS DCHROM®: These lenses feature a starting color that is slightly darker than other smoke photochromic lenses and reach category 3 darkness at maximum activation. In addition to their impressive speed of transition from light to dark, they provide a notable sense of relaxation for your eyes, even on days with very intense sunlight.

SMOKE PHOTOCHROMIC LENS: These lenses start with a completely transparent base color and reach category 2.5 darkness at maximum activation. They are particularly recommended for indoor use as basic protection, for night excursions, and for everyday wear during sunny hours.

• Shatterproof Lenses: The photochromic lenses on the Vista Sport glasses are made from high-quality polycarbonate. This material is lighter than conventional options and is known for its unbreakable nature. Using Vista Sport glasses with these shatterproof photochromic lenses is a crucial safety feature you shouldn't overlook. In the event of a strong impact, the lens distributes the shock across its entire surface, preventing the formation of small fragments that could potentially harm the eye.

  Optical Clip: The optical clip is a specialized support that allows for the attachment of corrective lenses through your trusted optician. It is removable, so the glasses can be used as regular eyewear without the clip if you prefer to wear contact lenses while practicing your sport.

  Ultralight Frame: All sports glasses featuring photochromic lenses are constructed from TR90, a unique blend of nylon and carbon fiber that makes the frames 20% lighter than those made from conventional materials. This composition also enhances their resistance to extreme temperatures, elasticity, and long-term durability. TR90 is hypoallergenic, as are the rubberized parts made from soft Megol. These rubberized components not only provide stability to the glasses but also help absorb vibrations and micro-movements caused by sudden changes in direction.

What Sports Can They Be Used For?

Photochromic sports glasses are versatile and can be used for various sports. Here are the main disciplines suited for these glasses and their primary benefits:

Road Cycling and Mountain Biking (MTB): Photochromic lenses adapt to changing light conditions along your route, making them especially valuable for MTB enthusiasts who frequently encounter light/dark transitions.

Running and Trail Running: Similar to cycling, these disciplines involve constant light changes. Using sports glasses with photochromic lenses ensures optimal visibility throughout your run, regardless of the conditions.

Paragliding: In paragliding and other flying sports, where there's no barrier against direct light and UV rays, photochromic lenses provide excellent visibility of the landscape and instruments under all atmospheric conditions.

Water Sports: For activities like kayaking or sailing, photochromic lenses offer maximum protection and consistent visibility, ensuring your eyes remain relaxed even in bright light conditions typically encountered on the water.

Beach Volleyball: Wearing sports glasses with photochromic lenses during beach volleyball protects against sand and wind throughout the match. They also provide protection during night matches by reducing sand exposure.

Tennis: These glasses are suitable for both indoor and outdoor play, adapting to natural and UV light by darkening according to intensity. This offers an economical and safe solution, allowing players to focus on their performance.

Golf: Using photochromic lenses in golf ensures that your eyes remain relaxed with every change in light intensity, enhancing your overall experience on the course.

We highly recommend photochromic sports glasses for all outdoor activities to ensure comfort and protection.
