When Driving sight becomes the most used sense. For this reason it is important to choose the proper sunglasses to be used into the car.
Advantages of using good sunglasses when driving
- Security: Using sunglasses will give you a better vision of the road avoiding distracting elements as dazzles or shines. But remember this: always put our sunglasses on before starting driving and never when you have already started.
- Less eye fatigue:When there is an excess of light we tend to force our sight. This will cause feeling somnolence or even acquiring uncomfortable positions which reduce our driving abilities. Even more when we drive for hours.
- Comfort: Eliminating light excess allow us to concentrate on external stimuli and anticípate in a faster way to other drivers manoeuvres.
- Response time: When using sunglasses we can count on a better contrast and depth perception. This will allow us to react in a faster way to what is happening around us.
- Preventive effect: By using sunglasses you can avoid the appearance of some eye illnesses. If you spend many hours driving each week they will be perfect for you.
What sunglasses I should choose to drive
- Better if they are polarized: The lenses included in these kind of sunglasses eliminate effectively any kind of reflected light and increase the contrast. This will avoid dazzles.
- Surrounding or "mask" frames: They are ergonomic frames which adapt to the curved shape of the face and offer a wider vision field.
- Light frames: Comfort is crucial when driving. It is important to be as comfortable as possible and eliminate the necessity of readjusting the frame all the time. This will mean a total concentration on what is important: the road.
- High quality and resistant frames: Make sure that your glasses have all the guaranties: glasses without UV protection are bad for your health. These kind of cheap glasses allow harmful sun rays get into the pupil and impact on the retina. All the glasses available at Optical include high quality lenses and all the warranties established for this kind of products.
- Lens color: Although lens color does not affect the protección level it does affect your perception of colors. Grey lenses are the ones which best keep real colors while it offers the best contrast. However there is a huge variety of lenses including green and yellow.
