Advantages and benefits of contrast-enhancing sunglasses for athletes
Imagine riding your bike on a winding road, enjoying the thrill of skiing down a steep slope or playing an exciting tennis match under a bright sun. In all these moments, a clear view is crucial. This is possible with our contrast-enhancing Zeiss lenses. The advantages and benefits are impressive: improved vision and reaction time, effective eye protection and significant fatigue reduction. Our contrast-enhancing sunglasses offer all these benefits and much more.
Improved visibility and reaction time
Contrast enhancement
These glasses increase contrast, making differences in brightness and colors stand out more clearly. This is particularly important for sports that require fast reactions and precise movements, such as cycling, skiing or tennis.
Sharp perception
By improving visual clarity, athletes can better recognize obstacles, bumps and other details on the field or track.
Eye protection
UV protection
High-quality contrast-enhancing sunglasses offer full protection against harmful UV rays, which protects the eyes from long-term damage.
Reduction of glare
These sunglasses reduce glare from reflected sunlight, which is particularly beneficial for activities on water, snow or asphalt. This means you always have a clear view!
Fatigue reduction
Less eye strain
By improving contrast and reducing glare, there is less strain on the eyes, which reduces fatigue and increases concentration.
Better focus
Athletes can concentrate better on their performance as they do not have to constantly adjust their eyes to changing light conditions.

Properties and weather conditions
Contrast-enhancing sunglasses have special properties that make them suitable for different weather conditions:
1. properties
Polarized lenses for better vision
Polarized sunglasses reduce the glare caused by reflected light and improve contrast.
Colored tints
Different tints (such as brown, yellow or orange) can improve contrast in certain light and weather conditions. Yellow or orange lenses are particularly effective in diffuse light or cloudy conditions, as they filter blue light waves and therefore increase contrast.
Mirrored lenses
These reflect some of the light and reduce glare, which is advantageous in very bright conditions.
2. weather conditions
Sunny days
Darker tints and mirrored lenses are ideal for bright sunny days, as they reduce the intensity of the light and protect the eyes from strong glare.
Cloudy or foggy conditions
Brighter tints such as yellow or orange are advantageous in poor light conditions as they increase contrast and allow clearer vision.
Changing light conditions
Photochromic lenses, which adjust their tint depending on the light intensity, are suitable for changing conditions as they automatically provide optimum protection and contrast.

Role of polycarbonate
Polycarbonate plays an important role in the manufacture of contrast-enhancing sunglasses:
1. durability and safety
Durability
Polycarbonate is an extremely robust material that is resistant to impacts and scratches. This makes it ideal for sports eyewear that is often exposed to harsh conditions.
Protection against injuries
As polycarbonate is shatterproof, it offers additional protection for the eyes by minimizing the risk of injury from splinters or breakage.
2. weight reduction
Lightweight: Polycarbonate is significantly lighter than glass, which increases comfort and reduces strain on the nose and ears. This is particularly important for athletes who wear their glasses for long periods of time.
3. optical quality
Clarity and precision: Polycarbonate offers excellent optical clarity and can be easily integrated with various tints and coatings to increase contrast and provide protection from UV rays and glare.
