    Sport-specific performance in sunglasses comes down to tint, which should filter enough of the right kind of light to reduce brightness and eyestrain, without filtering out what you actually need to see to perform well.  Our Eyewear Consultants can help determine what lens colors will work best for you.  Here are some general guidelines.

    Yellow or Amber: Increases visual acuity, focus, and contrast in low light conditions.

    Best for: Road, field, and trail.  Shooting, fishing, tennis, racquetball, handball, indoor basketball.

    Gray or green-gray: Cuts glare in bright light conditions, and preserves natural color perception.

    Best for: Water and road.  Cycling, all outdoor sports.

    Copper or brown: Universal tints that improve depth perception, increase contrast, cut glare on sunny to partly cloudy days, and minimize eyestrain brought on by haze.

    Best for: Road, trail, field, and water.  Golf, fishing, baseball, cycling, hunting.

    Rose or violet: Makes details pop when light is flat, especially against blue backgrounds.

    Best for: Water and snow.

    If you want to reflect certain color wavelengths, like screening blue or green for better visibility below the water line when fishing, ask about a mirrored coating instead of a tint. The best way to eliminate reflections and glare is to choose optical quality sunglasses that are polarized.

    You’ll find a full range of options in our eyewear gallery.  Be sure to check out Rudy Project and Maui Jim sunwear, which is particularly suited to performance sports.  We can even design a pair of custom sunglasses to meet your specific needs.

    If you’re serious about seeing and performing at your best, take a look at Rudy Project sunglasses.  We have recently added the collection in our office.  So whether your interests are biking, snow or water sports, fishing, racket sports, golf, or driving, they combine sport and style in a way that takes your needs into account.

    First, they’re polarized to filter out reflected light, but they have dialed it down to 96% so you can still read the LCD screen on electronic gauges, your iPod, or phone.  Next, they are available as photochromic so they’ll adjust from nearly clear to super dark depending on the lighting conditions you are in.  They’re Rx-able so you can integrate your eyeglass prescription or remove the insert when you wear your contacts.  A brow-hugging design keeps wind and glare at a minimum and sideshields can be snapped on for complete protection.  Adjustable temples and nosepads allow the fit to be customized to your face, and hydrophilic rubber means they will stay put when wet.   All the metal components are made of corrosion-fighting stainless steel.  Not only that, they look good!

    Rudy Project sunglasses were recently named Gear of the Year 2008 by an independent magazine.  You don’t have to go far to find the best.  Stop in to Complete EyeCare Center in downtown Mt. Pleasant to try them today.
