What is the best pair of glasses for sports?

The best sunglasses for sports are undoubtedly the ones that protect the most. Indeed, who says "outdoor" activities says long moments spent facing the wind, the sun's rays, but also various external aggressions such as insects, mud or dust. It is therefore important to ensure that the sunglasses chosen have UV400 lenses that block UVA and UVB rays. It is also interesting to turn to models that also block blue light, which can damage our eyes in the long run. On the comfort side, choose TR90 frames that offer strength and lightness for optimal comfort.

How do I know if sunglasses are effective?

As you will have understood, it is essential to ensure that the sunglasses in which you plan to invest protect you against all types of external aggressions. UV rays are the main enemy of the eye. Indeed, they can damage the lens, eventually causing cataracts for example. To guard against such a risk, always check the CE marking on your glasses. This registration is mandatory in Europe. This ensures, in short, that the lenses have UV protection against light with a wavelength of up to 380 nanometers. The UV400 label guarantees additional protection against harmful light up to 400 nanometers. You must then check the degree of protection of your glasses. If your glasses are of good quality, the degree of protection of these should be greater than 0, which indicates that they protect little or nothing from the sun. The degree of protection ranges from 0 to 4. Note that glasses with a degree of protection of 4 are prohibited to drive, because cause too much glare.
