Sport Sunglasses : What is it?

Good, genuine sport sunglasses are made with shatter-resistant, scratch-resistant, and durable polycarbonate lenses. They are used for blocking out the sun, enhancing the field of view, and separating the foreground from the background (such as in seeing fish in the water).

Types of Sport Sunglasses

Kinds of Sport Sunglasses include the following:

Water-resistant sport sunglasses

Water-resistant sport sunglasses are designed for water sports, and usually come as goggles. They are strapped around the head to prevent them from slipping off and to prevent water from seeping into the eyes.

Lightweight sport sunglasses

Lightweight sunglasses are designed for climbing sports such as wall climbing and rock climbing. They are lightweight, allowing them to “resist” gravity when on a high place.

Polarized sport sunglasses

Polarized sunglasses reduce the sun’s glare, making them ideal for high glare sports such as fishing, golf, and boating. They help the wearer see better by diffusing or filtering scattered and reflected light.

Tinted sport sunglasses

Tinted sport sunglasses are used for enhancing the field of view. They provide contrast enhancements and depth perception. They are usually available in amber, blue, brown, green, and yellow tints.

Choosing Sport Sunglasses (Buying tips)

UV protection: Choose sport sunglasses with 100% UV ray protection to protect your eyes from permanent sun damage and cataract.

Reflective sunglasses: Look for reflective sport sunglasses or those with mirrored lenses that filter reflected light effectively
