When it comes to driving, good eyesight depends on many different factors.

When it comes to driving, good eyesight depends on many different factors. We must not only see without glare and without reflections, but also be able to see clearly and sufficiently contrasted at night.

1. An essential asset of the best sunglasses for driving: excellent antireflection treatment
Different light sources may interfere with our vision as we drive, eg. ex. strong sunlight, headlights, stray light from streetlights and glare on the glasses or windshield. Eyeglass lenses without anti-glare treatment can cause vision problems caused by annoying reflections, for example on wet roads and because of cars traveling the other way.

2. Extra protection with polarizing filters: better contrast and reduced glare
Reflections, whether they come from metal surfaces or a layer of water on the road, represent an additional risk if you wear standard glasses, regardless of the season. The light is reflected in a particular direction and causes annoying glare. Polarized glasses provide additional security in these situations.

3. More than just an aesthetic effect: tinted lenses also offer more comfort
Some glass colors are particularly pleasant to drive. Brown or gray lenses can identify traffic lights such as headlights or brake lights in a few thousandths of a second, thereby indirectly improving reaction times. Tip: Tinted glasses with color gradient make it easier to see the dashboard because they are lighter on the bottom of the glass.

4. No more dust and dirt on glasses: for clear vision in all situations
Whether it's to avoid irritations to the eyes from the blower heaters in winter or the wind in a convertible, there are many options to get you to your destination with your eyes rested, whatever either time. Some types of frames, for example, offer additional protection against dust particles or small insects.

5. Innovative technology for progressive lenses perfect for driving
Measurements made by the FKFS * Institute on behalf of ZEISS indicated that we are looking at the road in front of us and the oncoming traffic for 97% of the total time we spend driving. Who would have thought that figure was so high? But our eyes have a lot to do: they must quickly switch from side mirrors to the central mirror, through the dashboard.

6. A sharper view even at night with the glasses of driving glasses
In general, vision is more problematic at night or in low light than in normal lighting conditions. Eyeglasses designed for day vision, with little dilated pupils, may not be sufficient. , a special measuring device based on innovative wavefront technology measures the eye when the pupil is dilated, as in night vision situations. These measurements can then be integrated into the spectacle lens production process using  technology . You get glasses of glasses that offer sharper vision at night and safer driving with a better perception of colors and contrasts.

7. Choose a frame for driving glasses: what should you consider?
Eyeglass frames play an important role in the quality of the result. The mount and the branches should be as thin as possible and meet at the top of the mount. In this way, your eyeglass frame does not interfere with your field of vision while driving. When the size of glasses lenses is optimal, the head movements needed to look in the mirrors are minimal. Eyeglass frames with curved lenses reduce the annoying incident light on the sides.
