Pick the Right Eyewear
Here I will post for you some information I have come across regarding eyewear for riding. Good stuff, very informative. I have gotten all of this info from the Village Cycle Center catalogue (link in sidebar). Read on…
Road Cycling Lenses tend to be darker than ones for mountain biking and generally use a red tint to filter out blue light and glare.
Off Road Lenses need an orange or amber tint also for filtering blue light that causes glare. Orange or amber tints increase contrast on the trail that pop out obstacles a little more than if you were not wearing glasses at all.
Road and Trail Lenses call for brown tints which improve depth perception and also reduce glare. They are good for variable conditions and the dark tint reduces eyestrain.
Grey or Smoke Tints keep colors in their most natural, unfiltered state, also reducing eyestrain.
Low Light Conditions, like cloudy days, yellow, red or orange tints are the way to go. They help protect the eyes and also create contrast.
Clear Lenses don’t provide contrast but are good for keeping wind, bugs, dust and other outside factors away from eyes.
