Learn More About Sport Sunglasses

Wearing sunglasses for sports helps you keep your eye on the ball and get a better view of your game in bright conditions. They can also be an important accessory for your outdoor fitness routine.

For optimal support, make sure your sunglasses have UV protection. UV radiation is often higher in the summer than other times of the year, so it's best to have a pair of quality sunglasses ready when the weather turns warm. Sport sunglasses may help reduce eyestrain, shield you from dust and debris and minimize uncomfortable glare.

Glass lenses provide the best visual acuity, minimizing distortion and scratching. Polycarbonate and acrylic lenses are very resistant to impact, so they're a great choice for contact sports.

Your sunglass lens color matters, too. Consider the following:

Gray lenses are great for day-to-day use. Gray lenses transmit an array of colors from the spectrum for minimal distortion. Gray sunglass lenses are ideal for bright, sunny days and open-water fishing.
Copper is a high-contrast tint that soothes the eyes. This hue absorbs blue light to heighten visual acuity and boost contrast.
Brown provides optimal tint for a variety of fishing conditions. Brown tints provide excellent contrast and true color perception. Choose brown for shallow water streams and flats fishing in medium to bright light.
Amber lenses are ideal in low-light conditions, including first and last light or heavily overcast skies.

Always consult product information when selecting your new sunglasses. Product pages include specifics on the percentage of UVA, UVB and UVC protection, as well as details on materials, fit and technologies.

Sunglasses are an iconic accessory, so find a pair that matches your personal sense of style. Choose from classic wayfarers, square-shaped sunglasses or sleek oval-shaped lenses. Some pairs come with adjustable frames and nose pads, which provide a better grip.

Don't forget to keep your eyes protected indoors as well. If you spend a lot of time looking at a screen, like your smartphone, tablet or computer monitor, you could benefit from wearing blue-light-blocking glasses. Check out the latest selection of blue light glasses at DICK'S.
