Sports Glasses Bifocal Lenses
Bifocal sports glasses, for those who need bifocal prescription lenses to practice their favorite sport
For athletes who have difficulty reading instruments during their favorite sports activities—such as GPS devices, heart rate monitors, bike computers, or simple maps—DEMON created the SUN READING and VISTA SPORT line. This evolution in sports eyewear features an expanded lateral field of vision, completely revolutionizing the concept of sports glasses. Thanks to the use of special eyepiece supports, the typical curved lens of sports glasses is transformed into a flat base 6 lens, allowing the installation of bifocal lenses.
The SUN READING line consists of a series of models equipped with lenses offering powers ranging from +1.5, +2.0, to +2.5, designed to help athletes read instruments, without any correction for distance vision. These specialized glasses are also an excellent solution from an economic perspective, allowing athletes to have ready-to-use glasses while saving significantly on custom lens manufacturing.
There are two different models:
- TIGER SUN READING with photochromic lenses
- TIGER SUN READING with category 3 mirrored smoke lenses
Recommended Sports:
VISTA SPORT is recommended for all sports that utilize progressive prescription lenses. Below, we list the main sports in which it can be used to enhance performance.
Cycling:
Cyclists, whether they practice mountain biking or prefer racing bikes, often have difficulty reading their bike's mileage counter or simply reading their smartphones. Creating bifocal prescription lenses for the VISTA SPORT model is one of the best-performing alternatives currently on the market for optical frames. Using bifocal cycling glasses is the most effective solution for those who struggle to read instruments; you'll immediately notice the benefits, and by the end of the day, your eyes will feel less tired, ensuring perfect visual relaxation throughout your ride.
Running and Trail Running:
Similar to cycling, runners and trail runners often rely on instruments with very small screens (e.g., GPS devices, heart rate monitors, or smartphones). It is essential to avoid straining your eyes while maintaining visual comfort by choosing bifocal lenses for running and trail running. This will prevent you from interrupting your performance to check your activity data. Using sports running glasses with bifocal lenses is one of the best-performing alternatives on the market compared to standard optical frames.
Hiking and Mountaineering:
For trekkers, especially when reading GPS devices or taking photos with smartphones, using bifocal sports glasses is a technical solution that ensures perfect visibility of the path and tools without straining the eyes.
Sport Fishing:
In sport fishing, using bifocal sports glasses is essential for athletes who struggle with tasks like attaching bait to a hook or securing the hook itself. For these small, precise tasks, having the right visual aid is crucial.
Model VISTA SPORT
The VISTA SPORT differs from common sports frames in the following ways:
Envelopment:
The primary difference between VISTA SPORT and a standard sports frame is the envelopment. This design provides all the benefits associated with the shape of sports glasses, including better stability on the face during use, greater comfort, enhanced protection from light, increased safety in case of accidental impacts, and an aggressive design and aesthetic.
Base 6 Lens:
The base 6 lens is essential for creating bifocal lenses for your favorite sport. Thanks to the eyepiece holder, which brings the lens to a base 6, it allows for lower costs and significantly reduces the risk of creating lenses that might cause lateral visual disturbances (common with more curved base 8 lenses).
Wider Lateral Vision:
The lateral vision is significantly wider compared to traditional glasses with clip-on lenses, which often greatly limit peripheral visibility.
No Limitations on Powers:
Another significant advantage is the ability to mount any type of prescription power for visual correction. This is particularly useful when creating bifocal lenses for sports use.
Ultralight and Durable Frame:
The eyepiece support is made of TR90 (a blend of nylon and carbon fiber), just like the frame. Even when mounting lenses that exert pressure, the eyepiece support will optimally withstand tension without breaking. This is an often-underestimated aspect, but it is of great importance.
Frame Material
The frame and eyepiece holders are made of TR90, a special composition of nylon and carbon fiber that makes them ultralight and durable (20% lighter than conventional materials). The importance of using this special material lies in its high resistance to impacts, tension, and deformation. It can withstand accidental impacts as well as extreme temperatures without warping. Additionally, the eyepiece support can accommodate bifocal lenses with specific characteristics designed to correct the athlete's vision, even under significant tension.
TR90 stands out from other materials for its long-lasting durability, which is essential when investing in prescription lenses. The material is also hypoallergenic, making it suitable for use in extreme conditions and during prolonged wear without irritating the skin.
We also recommend the creation of anti-breakage lenses for any sport you practice to best protect your eyes from accidental impacts, along with the choice of an anti-fog treatment to effectively counteract condensation on the internal surface of the glasses.
It is important to note that the choice of lenses for the VISTA SPORT model should be made in consultation with the customer’s trusted optician. This will allow the customer to select the type and color of the lenses that best suit their needs, resulting in unique and high-performance bifocal sports glasses for their favorite sport.
