It will have occurred to everyone who – like me – does not have the eyesight of a hawk to ask the question whether there are specific corrective solutions for those who play sports. And the question is legitimate because all ‘traditional’ eyeglasses are objectively uncomfortable when you sweat and fatigue.
Indeed, it happens that they slip, that they have an unsafe fit, or that-much more trivially-they turn into a small oven simply because they are not ventilated.
These solutions are-in my opinion-essential when we play sports. Both in running and-even more so-in cycling.
One does not have to go very far to find the right solutions. In fact, to be precise, just get to Treviso from the very Italian .
Rudy Project
.
What is interesting is that Rudy Project proposes not just one solution, but many possible alternatives that are different from each other. And to identify the one that suits us best, the wise thing to do is to sit down with our optician, explain our needs and thus find the solution that suits us best.
In detail, there are seven ‘view’ solutions offered by Rudy Project. Let’s look at them in detail.
Optical Dock
The clip
Optical Dock
is the ideal solution for athletes who need high corrections and want to benefit from the technology, design and comfort of Rudy Project models.
These are high-strength Grilamid frames that allow opticians to use corrective lenses of any material in the Rydon, Fotonyk and Stratofly models.
While slightly reducing the field of view at the extremities, the Optical Dock has the convenience of being interchangeable and that the lenses can be cut and prepared directly in the optician’s laboratory. Always maintaining the shape, comfort and aerodynamics of Rudy Project sports eyewear.
ImpactRX – RX Direct
This is the most ‘custom’ solution you can have. In fact, ImpactRX prescription lenses are made of the same material as ImpactX photochromic plano lenses and are made by digital surface method on prescription and wearer fit parameters.
Put simply: a Rudy Project eyeglass with corrective lenses based on your needs.
Flip up
As the name implies, in this case it is the sunglass lens that is liftable. This way you can have perfect vision by simply raising or lowering the sunglass lenses.
Direct Clips
It is a very similar solution to the Optical Dock but, in this case, the clips allow the optician to process the corrective lenses in his or her lab and insert them individually inside the frame-as if they were simple replacement lenses. The lenses will thus be incorporated into eyewear designed specifically for sports use, with all the benefits that come with it.
Optical insert
Dedicated to those who need light vision corrections, this solution consists of a clip in which to install lenses that can be mounted behind the sunglass lenses in most models in the plano collection. It is easy to assemble and disassemble, keeps the expense down, and is also a perfect solution for contact lens wearers who therefore need a solution to use only ‘as needed’ and in special cases.
Rydon Readers
Rydon Readers are sports glasses in which a corrective lens is mounted in the lower sunglass part to make it easier to read maps, GPS and other devices with monitors.
Eyeglasses
The last solution is the most traditional: prescription eyewear designed for both sports and everyday life. So with a more traditional appearance but performance materials, comfortable and suitable for sports use.
