Choosing the right glasses is not just a matter of aesthetics but also functionality. It’s not the same to spend hours in front of a screen as to drive at night or go running in full sun. Each activity requires a different type of lens that protects your vision and helps you perform better.
In this article, we explain what features to look for in your glasses depending on the activity, and we recommend the ideal models for each occasion.
Driving Glasses
What do you need?
Clear vision both day and night that allows you to drive without any insecurity. Also, a reduction of reflections (especially on wet roads or with low sun), and finally, good contrast in glasses.
What type of lenses to choose?
-
Polarized: Eliminate annoying reflections from flat surfaces like asphalt or the hood.
-
Anti-reflective: Ideal for night driving.
-
Photochromic (transition): They darken in the sun, useful if you don’t want to change glasses.
What we recommend:
Glasses with a lightweight frame, polarized lenses with UV400 filter, and anti-reflective treatment.
Our advice: Avoid very dark lenses for night use. Instead, look for yellow or clear lenses with specific filters.
Reading Glasses
What do you need?
You need the right magnification for your prescription to see better. On the other hand, lenses that prevent eye strain and lightweight glasses to feel as comfortable as possible.
What type of lenses to choose?
-
Single vision lenses with the precise prescription for reading distance (~40 cm).
-
Anti-reflective treatment for greater clarity.
-
Soft blue filter if you read on screens.
What we recommend:
Half-moon or folding reading frames, easy to carry with you. Better if they are ultralight or have flexible temples.
Our advice: Don’t use reading glasses for walking or looking far away. They are only optimized for short distances.
Computer Glasses
What do you need?
Reduced eye strain, blue light protection to lessen discomfort from light, and finally, comfort for long hours.
What type of lenses to choose?
-
Blue light filter: Reduces glare and protects the retina.
-
Anti-reflective + scratch-resistant: Greater clarity and durability.
-
Specific prescription for intermediate distance (~60–80 cm).
What we recommend:
Glasses with blue light filter and neutral or slightly warm lenses (soft amber), with wide frames that cover the visual field well.
Our advice: If you use progressive lenses, consider specific computer glasses with an “optimized intermediate zone.”
Sports Glasses
What do you need?
Stability, durability, and lightness so you can play sports without any worries. Protection against wind, sun, and dust to keep your glasses safe and lenses that don’t fog up.
What type of lenses to choose?
-
Polycarbonate or TR90: Durable and ultra-light materials.
-
Mirrored or polarized lenses: For very sunny outdoor conditions.
-
Ventilation or anti-fog treatment
What we recommend:
Wraparound or sports frames, with non-slip nose pads and adjustable temples. Lenses with full UV protection.
Our advice: If you play sports with a prescription, there are prescription clips or custom sports lenses.
