Progressive sports glasses for presbyopia

Presbyopia or also known as eyestrain is a condition that occurs due to age-induced loss of accommodation ability. It usually appears around 40 years of age and is characterized by difficulty in observing objects in near vision. One of the main symptoms perceived by patients when the first symptoms of presbyopia begin to appear is the need to move away from texts in order to be able to read clearly up close. In such situations, it is necessary to graduate the vision in order to choose the most suitable progressive glasses for presbyopia according to the visual needs of each patient. However, progressive glasses are not only valid for daily activities such as work or driving, among others. In addition, the use of progressive glasses during the practice of certain sports can increase visual performance and precision. From InterOptics in Alfaz del Pi we provide information about the quality of progressive glasses during the practice of sports in patients with presbyopia.

In which sports is it convenient to use progressive glasses?

In the practice of certain sports it is convenient to have adequate vision at all distances. Specifically, the improvement in the technology of progressive glasses for the practice of sports allows them to be used in golf, trail running, tennis and even others such as cycling. Due to the speed acquired in sports such as cycling, a progressive goggle will allow a clear view of the speedometer at distant and intermediate distances. Likewise, in mountain sports such as trail running, it can be visualized at different distances in a quick and clear way, facilitating the practice of the activity. The technology of progressive glasses is designed with a gradual transition that allows the prescription to vary progressively improving the vision of the athlete. However, progressive glasses not only improve vision due to presbyopia, but their technology also makes it possible to correct other refractive defects such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

Since sports practice in certain situations takes place outdoors, it is also important to be aware of the importance of protecting your vision from harmful radiation. Specifically, progressive sports sunglasses not only provide clear vision at various distances, but also ultraviolet protection. Thus, for example, in water sports or high mountain sports, it is recommended to use sunglasses with high category (3 or 4) which will provide greater protection. The use of progressive prescription sunglasses for sports activities will allow optimized vision at all distances by improving peripheral vision. In fact, progressive lens technology has significantly improved the quality of peripheral vision. From InterOptics in Alfaz del Pi we recommend the adaptation of personalized progressive lenses to enjoy an optimized vision in the practice of any sport activity.
