Glasses for the Beach

When you go to the beach, glasses can offer protection from external elements such as the sun, wind, sand, and saltwater.

Here are some types of glasses that may be suitable for going to the beach:

Sunglasses: Sunglasses with UV protective lenses are essential for protecting your eyes from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. Look for glasses with good UV protection, preferably with lenses that block at least some UVA and UVB rays.

Beach Glasses: Beach glasses are usually lightweight and water-resistant, designed specifically for beach activities. They may have polarized lenses to reduce glare from the sand and water.

Water Sports Glasses: If you participate in water sports such as surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, or swimming, consider glasses designed specifically for those activities. These glasses often have adjustable straps for a secure fit and water-resistant lenses that provide clear visibility.

Floating Glasses: If you are worried about losing your glasses in the water, you may want to consider floating glasses. These glasses are designed with buoyant materials that keep them on the surface of the water if dropped.

Always make sure you choose quality glasses with adequate UV protection to safeguard your eyes from sun damage. It is also advisable to take care of your glasses to maintain their functionality and durability over time.

Which lenses to choose for going to the beach?
When selecting lenses for beach glasses, consider the following features to ensure good protection and optimal comfort:

1. Polarized Lenses: Polarized lenses are particularly useful for the beach as they reduce the sun's glare on the water surface and sand. This allows for clearer vision and reduces eye strain. Polarized lenses are ideal for activities such as swimming, sailing, surfing, and fishing.

   Scratch-Resistant Lenses: Consider lenses that are scratch-resistant, as beach glasses are more susceptible to coming into contact with sand, rocks, and other abrasive materials. Scratch-resistant lenses will last longer and keep your vision clear.

   Colored Lenses: Some beach lenses may have specific colors to improve contrast perception and filter certain wavelengths of light. For example, gray or green lenses can reduce the intensity of sunlight and enhance contrast. Brown or amber lenses can improve detail and depth perception.

   Remember that personal preferences may affect your choice of lenses. It is advisable to try different types of lenses and consider the specific conditions in which you will use your beach glasses. Additionally, take into account the recommendations of an optician or industry expert to find the lenses best suited to your needs.
