See the Road Clearly, Ride Farther: Cycling Sunglasses Perfected at Empire Optical

Cycling is a thrilling journey, pushing your limits and exploring the world on two wheels. But when the sun glares, wind whips at your face, and the road stretches before you, clear vision becomes paramount. Empire Optical, equipped with Oklahoma’s most advanced lens lab, is your one-stop shop for cycling sunglasses specifically designed to keep your eyes protected and focused on the ride.

Why Invest in Cycling Sunglasses?

Regular sunglasses might seem adequate, but cycling sunglasses offer significant advantages:

• Unmatched Clarity and Focus: Unlike everyday shades, cycling sunglasses boast high-quality, impact-resistant lenses. This translates to exceptional clarity, allowing you to spot potholes, oncoming traffic, and subtle changes in the terrain ahead. Every ride becomes a focused and safe adventure.
• Superior Protection from the Elements: Empire Optical carries cycling sunglasses crafted from Polycarbonate and Trivex, two champions in the world of lens materials:
  • Polycarbonate: This lightweight powerhouse offers superior impact resistance, shielding your eyes from unexpected debris or road hazards. It also blocks harmful UV rays, protecting your eyes on long rides under the sun.
  • Trivex: This newer material boasts exceptional clarity, scratch resistance, and superior optics compared to Polycarbonate. Ideal for cyclists who demand the best possible visual experience.
• Reduced Eye Strain and Fatigue: Traditional sunglasses might fall short in blocking glare bouncing off the road or your handlebars. Cycling sunglasses come with specially designed lenses that cut through glare, reducing eye strain and fatigue. This keeps you comfortable and focused for longer distances.

Choosing the Right Lens Material, Color, and Mirror Coating for Your Ride

Empire Optical’s lens experts will guide you through material, color, and mirror coating options based on your cycling style and preferences:

• Lens Material:
  • Polycarbonate: The most popular choice for its affordability, lightweight comfort, and excellent impact resistance and UV protection.
  • Trivex: Ideal for cyclists who prioritize superior optics and clarity, with exceptional scratch resistance compared to Polycarbonate.
• Lens Color: The optimal tint depends on light conditions:
  • Bright Sun: Opt for neutral-toned lenses like gray, brown, or green. These provide excellent sun protection while maintaining clear color perception.
  • Low Light: If you ride during overcast periods, early mornings, or evenings, consider lenses with a lighter tint like yellow or rose. These enhance contrast and depth perception, allowing you to see potential obstacles more clearly.
  • Variable Conditions: For rides that transition between sun and shade, photochromic lenses are a game-changer. These lenses automatically adjust their tint based on light intensity, providing optimal vision in any condition.
• Mirror Coating: This additional layer on the lens can further enhance your vision for specific conditions:
  • Sunny Conditions: A gold or silver mirror coating reflects more light, reducing glare and eye strain on exceptionally bright days.
  • Variable Light: Consider a rose gold mirror coating for rides that transition between sun and shade. It offers a balance of light reduction and color perception.
  • Low-Light Conditions: A clear or light-colored mirror coating provides the best possible light transmission for dawn or dusk rides.
