Sport requires not only stamina and technique, but also clear and protected vision. Whether it is cycling, running, swimming or team sports, the choice between glasses or contact lenses is crucial for safe and effective performance. As technology advances, new models emerge, offering athletes greater comfort and improved performance.
Sports glasses are essential for optimising vision during physical activity. As well as protecting against UV rays, wind and dust, they also help reduce intense glare, increasing safety. Features such as lightness, impact resistance, colour and lens treatment must be considered. Activities such as nautical sports, water sports and golf require lenses that favour the perception of contrast and shades.
Contact lenses are an alternative for those who prioritise freedom of movement, eliminating the frame that can interfere with the use of equipment. They also provide a wider field of vision and better perception of the environment. Daily lenses are recommended for athletes as they offer convenience, hygiene and reduce the risk of eye infections.
When choosing between glasses and lenses, it’s important to consider the type of sport you will be practising. In speed sports such as running, you may benefit more from contact lenses, while disciplines such as skiing or outdoor sports require glasses with reinforced eye protection. Ultimately, a combination of the two can be the ideal solution to guarantee maximum protection and visual comfort.
Investing in the right sports glasses or contact lenses is not just a matter of aesthetics, but a significant improvement in the performance and safety of athletes. At Optimax, you will find a wide range of options for different sports that guarantee the best optical technology to boost your performance.
