50% of the world’s population needs vision correction. While it is widely accepted to go to an optician to get glasses made for our daily activities, what about when we do physical and sporting activities?

Why have prescription sports glasses?

In all the activities that you can do, it is important to have the right equipment in order to be safe during your practices and to be able to hope for the best possible performance. Sports glasses are part of the essential equipment when practicing an outdoor activity such as cycling, running, mountain biking or even trail running.

Having a high-performance sports frame is great, but what about those with a prescription? Being able to wear sports glasses is essential in the search for performance and comfort. Being able to see obstacles on the road, the speedometer, the smart watch or even a map are essentials that cannot be overlooked.

It is to meet these needs that METAOPTICS was created and to allow you to offer a high-performance corrective solution.

What is METAOPTICS?

Thanks to its universal corrective program, METAOPTICS offers you the possibility of adjusting your sports glasses to your prescription. Whether you have an Oakley, Julbo, Bollé, Rudy Project or any other brand, METAPOTICS adapts to the frame you have. Our corrective program is compatible with 99% of prescriptions. Whether you are myopic, presbyopic, hyperopic, astigmatic or need progressive lenses. We definitely have a solution to offer you.

Located in Caen in Normandy, the METAOPTICS workshop allows you to have your sports glasses with corrective lenses. So take advantage of total customization of your corrective lenses. Our range of lenses allows you to choose from a multitude of possibilities: tinted, photochromic, polarized lenses, with or without mirror, anti-fog or anti-reflective treatments and much more!

I don’t have a sports mount, what do I do?

METAOPTICS does not sell any frames. To help with this, we have partner opticians, sports stores and online sites where you can go to buy a sports frame that meets your needs. There is bound to be one near you!

How to order corrective lenses on the METAOPTICS website?

1 – Find the frame you own on our site.

2 – Configure your glasses according to your needs, your desires and the available options.

3 – Create your customer account and pay for your order.

4 – You receive an SMS with a link to take optical measurements on our web-app.

5 – On our web app, you have 4 photos to take while following the instructions indicated on the screen of your smartphone. The 4th photo is a photo of your prescription.

6 – Validation of optical measurements by our optician.

7 – Manufacturing of your glasses and delivery of your order directly to your home. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us by email at contact@metaoptics.vision.
