Choosing the right glasses isn't just about aesthetics, but also about functionality. Spending hours in front of a screen is not the same as driving at night or going for a run in bright sunlight. Each activity requires a different type of lens to protect your vision and help you perform at your best.
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, allowing you to drive with complete confidence. Also, reduced glare (especially on wet roads or in low sunlight), and finally, excellent contrast.
What type of lenses should I choose?
-
Polarized : They eliminate annoying reflections from flat surfaces such as asphalt or the hood.
-
Anti-glare : 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 at night. Instead, look for yellow or clear lenses with specific filters.
Reading Glasses
What do you need?
You need the right prescription for your vision to see better. Additionally, you need lenses that reduce eye strain and lightweight glasses for maximum comfort.
What type of lenses should I choose?
-
Single vision lenses with the precise prescription for reading distance (~40 cm).
-
Anti-reflective coating for greater clarity.
-
Soft blue light filter if you read on screens.
What we recommend:
Folding crescent or reading frames are easy to carry. Ultralight or with flexible temples are best.
Our advice: Don't use reading glasses for walking or looking at things far away. They are only optimized for short distances.
Computer Glasses
What do you need?
Reduced eye strain, protection against blue light so you have less discomfort from the light, and finally, comfort for long days.
What type of lenses should I choose?
-
Blue light filter : Reduces glare and protects the retina.
-
Anti-reflective + anti-scratch : Greater clarity and durability.
-
Specific graduation for intermediate distance (~60–80 cm).
What we recommend:
Glasses with blue filter and neutral or slightly warm lenses (soft amber), with wide frames that cover the field of vision well.
Our advice: If you wear progressive lenses, consider computer-specific glasses with an "optimized mid-zone".
Sports Glasses
What do you need?
Stability, resistance, and lightness so you can play sports without any worries. Protection against wind, sun, and dust to keep your glasses from getting damaged and prevent lenses from fogging up.
What type of lenses should I choose?
-
Polycarbonate or TR90 : Resistant and ultralight materials.
-
Mirrored or polarized lenses : For very sunny outdoor conditions.
-
Ventilation or anti-fog treatment
What we recommend:
Wrap-around or sporty frames, with non-slip pads and adjustable temples. Lenses with full UV protection.
Our advice: If you play sports with prescription lenses, there are prescription clip-ons or custom sports glasses available.
