Sunglasses for driving

Introduction

Driving requires clear and comfortable vision, especially when the light varies.Sunglasses designed for driving are not just an accessory. They improve safety, reduce eye strain, and optimize your contrast perception. To choose the right lenses, it is essential to understand the options available to you, and their advantages according to your needs.

Polarized lenses: superior visual comfort

Polarized lenses are often recommended for driving because they reduce reflections caused by the road, water, or the vehicle's hood. This technology improves contrast perception and reduces glare, making the driving experience more comfortable, especially in bright sunlight. However, some dashboards digital screens may appear darker with polarized lenses. An optician can help you check compatibility with your vehicle.

The ideal shade for the road

Not all colors are suitable for driving. The most effective colors are:

• Brown/amber: enhances contrast and depth, ideal for long

  distances.

Certain treatments added to sunglasses lenses further improve visual comfort:

• Rear anti-glare: reduces reflections from light entering through

the rear of the vehicle.

• Complete UV protection: essential for preserving eye health.

• Hydrophobic and oleophobic coating: facilitates cleaning and improves clarity

at all times.
