graduated eyeglasses for archery

Demon has designed a specific line of prescription glasses for archery, tailored for athletes who wear eyeglasses daily. These glasses not only protect the archer's eyes but also enhance their ability to focus on the target, providing both safety and improved performance during practice and competition.

Due to their similar characteristics, archery eyeglasses are frequently used for target shooting as well. It is crucial for athletes to have their eyes well protected while being able to focus on the target effectively, especially when prescription lenses are required for optimal vision.

Archery eyeglasses have become an essential accessory for every athlete who wears prescription lenses daily. They provide maximum eye protection outdoors, particularly on bright, sunny days. These glasses serve as a barrier against external hazards such as insects and dust, and they significantly improve the athlete's ability to see the target clearly, which may appear blurry without corrective lenses.

While archery eyeglasses may seem like a straightforward tool, they require careful consideration. Not all archery glasses are created equal; various features such as lens color and type can perform differently under varying lighting and environmental conditions. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, DEMON has created a comprehensive guide to help athletes choose the archery eyeglasses that best fit their needs.

Key Features of Eyeglasses for Archery

How Do Ballistic Eyeglasses Differ from Common Eyeglasses?
At first glance, ballistic eyeglasses may resemble other sports glasses, but the materials used for their lenses and frames are quite distinct. In recent years, there has been a significant evolution in the construction of sports glasses, with safety becoming a paramount concern. These glasses are designed with shatterproof lenses and ultra-resistant elastic frames that can withstand accidental impacts.

Lens Material
Archery eyeglasses feature anti-breakage polycarbonate lenses, which differ significantly from standard glass lenses. We strongly advise against using glass lenses for sports archery due to the high risks they pose in the event of breakage. Polycarbonate is a specialized plastic known for its high impact resistance. This material has a unique property: when subjected to impact, even a strong one, the lens distributes the shock across its entire surface. This high impact resistance allows for the creation of thin yet ultra-durable lenses, significantly reducing the overall weight of the glasses. The lenses used in graduated archery glasses are designed with a pronounced curvature to provide maximum lateral protection while ensuring no visual distortion, even along the curved edges.

Frame Material
The ideal pair of glasses is one that you can forget you're wearing during use. This principle guides DEMON in the creation of all their sports frames. Archery glasses are constructed from TR90, a specialized blend of nylon and carbon fiber that makes the frames 20% lighter than those made from conventional materials. Additionally, TR90 is more resistant to impacts and stresses.

Clip Optical and Eye Supports
The DEMON collection of archery eyeglasses includes models with clip optical lenses, eye supports, and sports optical frames. This variety caters to the diverse needs of athletes, accommodating different prescription powers ranging from lighter powers for clips to medium-high powers for eye supports, and even very high powers for lenses fitted directly onto the sports frames.

Lens Colors
Now, let's delve into the technical aspects of the lenses. Eyeglasses must not only shield the eyes from light and debris but also guarantee perfect and consistent visibility of the target to enable athletes to perform at their best. Various lens colors are available, each suited for different lighting conditions, environments, or climates. Here’s a breakdown of the various lens colors and the optimal conditions they cater to:

• Interchangeable Lenses: Ideal for overcast weather, low-intensity sunlight, and bright sunlight.
  Note: Archery eyeglasses with interchangeable lenses typically come standard with a smoke lens and a high-contrast orange lens, along with a transparent lens. Switching lenses is quick and straightforward; in just 10 seconds, users can remove and replace the lens. This type of archery eyewear is perfect for athletes seeking comprehensive glasses that provide maximum protection and performance.

Photochromic Lenses

Usage: Suitable for all lighting conditions, including indoor settings and outdoor ranges.

Note: Photochromic lenses are specially designed lenses that undergo a reversible chemical reaction when exposed to UV radiation or sunlight, causing them to darken. When the light source is removed, the lenses gradually return to their original state of transparency.

Choosing this type of lens for archery practice means selecting sports eyeglasses that not only protect the eyes but also dynamically adapt to varying light conditions. This ensures that the eyes remain protected while allowing for maximum comfort, enabling athletes to focus entirely on their performance.

Eyepiece Support

The eyepiece support is a cutting-edge technology designed for archery glasses featuring graduated lenses. Specifically, the VISTA SPORT model allows for graduation directly on the main lens for medium to low prescriptions. By utilizing the new eyepiece holders, the enveloping shape of the sports glasses is preserved while incorporating flat lenses, making them ideal for those who prefer wider lenses for sports activities.

In essence, the eyepiece support functions similarly to a prescription frame. You can choose the lens color through your trusted optician based on your needs and preferences (e.g., graduated photochromic lenses, graduated yellow lenses).

Prescription Sports Frame

The DEMON sports frame is designed to resemble everyday eyewear but is constructed using materials specifically suited for sports glasses. It accommodates every prescription, as it features a flat base 4 design. Through your trusted optician, you can fit prescription sunglasses tailored to the VISTA SPORT model.

ACCESSORIES

In our collections, we offer several accompanying accessories that can enhance your archery eyeglasses with additional technologies based on your needs:

Neoprene Elastic Cord: This soft neoprene elastic cord is attached to the end of the temple and is compatible with any sports glasses on the market. It increases the stability of the glasses on your face and helps prevent them from slipping during use.

• Microfiber Pouch: This item is designed for cleaning the lenses of your sports glasses. It provides optimal protection and ensures your lenses are kept clean.

• Anti-Fog Cleaner Liquid: This specialized cleaning and anti-fog spray effectively cleans the lenses of your archery eyeglasses while also forming a temporary anti-fog film that lasts for approximately four days. This ensures perfect visibility during practice, even in extreme conditions.

The characteristics of each individual item are available on the product sheet in the dedicated description section. This way, you can comfortably choose your sports glasses from home through our e-commerce platform.
