Prescription Sports glasses

Why prescription sport glasses instead of normal glasses?

Normal glasses are designed for everyday use, not for intense movement. Prescription sport glasses offer specific benefits for glasses wearers who exercise actively:

• 100% UV protection against harmful UV radiation during outdoor sports
• Protection against wind, dust and insects so your eyes don't get irritated
• Lightweight, durable polycarbonate frame that stays stable on your head
• Larger field of view than standard glasses, matched to the curved shape of sport frames
• Less fogging thanks to ventilation openings that promote airflow

Whether you're cycling, running, playing golf or skiing: prescription sport sunglasses stay stable with every movement. They make contact lenses unnecessary and offer extra protection for your eyes.

Lens technology: SINTRAST® and SINTEC®

Many prescription sport glasses in this collection are available with advanced lens technology. The choice depends on the sport and the light conditions:

SINTRAST® (high contrast) enhances colour contrast and improves clarity. Subtle changes in terrain and road surface become visible faster. View the full overview on the SINTRAST® sport glasses page.

SINTEC® (polarised) contains a special filter that reduces annoying glare from water, wet asphalt and snow. Polarised lenses provide a calmer image when road cycling, water sports and mountain biking.

More explanation of each lens option can be found on the different lens types page.

Prescription sport glasses with photochromic lenses

Do you regularly exercise outdoors in changing light conditions, for example from sun to shade in the forest? Prescription sport glasses with photochromic lenses adjust automatically: darker in bright sunlight, lighter when it is cloudy. You don't have to switch glasses and always keep optimal vision. Availability differs per frame, so check the options on the product page of the model you choose.

Prescription options: single vision and multifocal

Prescription sport glasses are available with single vision or multifocal lenses. Multifocal prescription sport glasses are suitable for athletes who want to see sharply both far away and close up, for example to read a bike computer. The curved shape of a sport frame places higher demands on the grinding technique. That is why all high-quality lenses are matched to the specific frame in-house.

By type of sport

Every sport places different demands on sport glasses. SINNER offers prescription sport glasses matched to specific disciplines:

• Cycling glasses: protection against insects, flying dirt and harsh wind when road cycling and mountain biking
• Running glasses: anti-slip fit that stays stable, even when sweating
• Watersport glasses: polarised lenses that remove glare from the water surface
• Golf glasses: contrast-enhancing lenses for judging distances on the green
• Mountain glasses: maximum UV protection against wind at altitude
• Court glasses: sturdy frame that stays in place during sprints and changes of direction

Use the filters on this page to refine by gender and fit. The collection also includes prescription sport sunglasses for women and men.

How do you prevent prescription sport glasses from fogging up?

Fogging is caused by a temperature difference between the inside and outside of the lens. Choose a model with ventilation openings in the frame. Several SINNER sport glasses have ventilation slots that promote airflow and prevent fogging, even during intense exertion.

What is the difference from regular prescription glasses?

Prescription sport glasses are specifically designed for movement. The frame is lighter, the nose and ear pieces are anti-slip and the field of view is wider. Normal glasses lack these features: the frame slips more easily, offers no protection against wind or dirt and the lenses are not matched to the curved shape that sport glasses require.
