Discover the different functions of solar lenses

The primary function of sunglasses is to protect against UV rays. If left unchecked, UV rays penetrate deep into the eye and cause premature aging of the lens (cataracts) or age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Today, most sunglasses found on the market (specialist retailers) filter 100% of UV rays. The filtration will depend on the quality of the materials used to make the lenses.

The second function is to combat glare and thus provide comfort.

Classified from 0 to 4, the glass category indicates the amount of visible light that the solar filter lets through. The higher the category, the less light the glass lets through!

Please note that Category 4 lenses are perfect for high mountains and very bright conditions but are not permitted for driving because they darken too much and reduce the perception of contrasts and details.

The third function is to provide contrast.

In fact, depending on the colors of the filters and the environment in which they are used, solar lenses improve your visual performance.

This point is particularly important in certain sports because it will contribute to the quality of your decision-making and therefore to your performance!
