How to choose sunglasses based on your face shape and type of protection. Rating of sunglasses manufacturers Chunky women's sunglasses

Over the course of several years, driving glasses have undergone a real evolution - instead of traditional chameleons with photochromic lenses more modern and reliable polarized and antireflective lenses have appeared. In order to understand which of them are able to provide comfortable driving at any time of the day, you need to understand the types of coatings and the color of the lenses.

In general, all driver's glasses can be divided into two groups - sunglasses and anti-glare. It is the latter that are capable of reflecting glare from various objects (from wet asphalt, windshield, oncoming cars) and sunlight, which contributes to safe movement. Which driving glasses made the TOP 2018 in terms of price and quality? We study the rating based on customer reviews.

Types of driving glasses

The main purpose of the optics is safe and comfortable driving in any weather. There are no universal driving glasses - depending on the degree of lighting and time of day, you need to wear one or another pair.

Based on functionality, optics can be divided into the following groups:

Sun protection and polarized

The polarizing effect helps guarantee the driver a comfortable and safe ride, as it almost completely neutralizes glare and blurred images, which not only prevent full control vehicle, but also imperceptibly tire a person’s eyes, worsening his vision. For evening driving you need to choose glasses with yellow lenses, for daytime - brown lenses.

Photochromic

This variety provides dimming equal to the light intensity and brightness. In bright sunshine and no clouds, the lenses are dark brown, almost black. As the surroundings get darker and the brightness decreases, the lenses become lighter. A big plus and the main difference from “chameleons” is instant lightening, for example, when entering a tunnel.

Corrective

To put it simply, glasses are for those who have vision problems - myopia or farsightedness. Such lenses are coated with a special antireflective coating that has an anti-reflex and anti-reflective effect.

When a person sits behind the wheel both at night and during the day, then it is worth buying two models of glasses. Then this will help avoid visual fatigue. A comfortable frame and properly selected lenses will provide excellent protection against glare and accidents.

Cafa France Royal Series

The Taiwanese company Cafa France makes good polarized glasses. It is better to immediately buy 2 pairs - one with yellow lenses for night driving, and one with brown lenses for daytime driving.

Optics for daylight hours (gray and brown) give very nice picture, it eats up glare, the dashboard is not reflected in the glass, in general everything is as it should be when using real Cafe France polarized glasses!

Cafa France S11125

Yellow lenses are not as effective as brown ones - they eat up a little light from the headlights of oncoming cars, lighten the image a little, but they don’t change anything radically.

Almost synonymous with quality and benefits for drivers. Japanese polarized glasses for Polaroid drivers are presented in the 2018 CORE collection. There are classic aviators, practical glasses for drivers, and models for young people.

The collection has a lot of unisex models that are suitable for both women and men. The Ultrasight IX lens, combined with fashionable plastic frames, provides high contrast, anti-glare effect, protection from the sun and suppression of bright headlights.

High-quality, heated metal arms, their smooth movement, no backlash. The surface of the glass (plastic, of course) is smooth, without defects. The set is the most complete - the glasses themselves, a case, wiping, polarization check.

Excellent glasses in rich packaging of average quality, relatively affordable price. Very high-quality casting, good polarization, nose pads bend without cracking, even the design of the temples is thought out. More suitable for thin faces.

Useful for drivers in conditions of poor visibility - twilight, fog, snow and rain. They cope well with the problem of glare from headlights, even to the point of extinguishing bright xenon headlights. But at the same time, colored sunglasses, unfortunately, distort colors, therefore, they are not suitable for use by drivers. Yellow glasses are no exception. For example, oncoming headlights and white street lights will appear green in color when using yellow lenses.

Matrix 1105 (C8-476)

The operating principle is based on cutting off the horizontal component of the light wave, thereby blocking radiation reflected from the surface of other cars, windshields, snow and wet road surfaces. Thanks to multi-layer Matrix light filters, the eyes are protected from glare, harmful solar radiation and headlights from oncoming cars.

Matrix 1105 (C8-476)

Yellow polarized Matrix glasses significantly increase the contrast of perception, resulting in improved visibility at night. The lenses show the outlines of objects more clearly due to the absorption of the blue-blue spectrum of radiation, which helps the driver to correctly assess the distance, choose the distance and speed.

Combined relaxation frames with anatomical frames fit well, even on large faces. Very light, but not fragile and quite durable. Protects eyes from bright light in sunny weather, reduces eye strain associated with prolonged eye strain. Completely block ultraviolet rays.

Everything is visible in them very clearly and in detail, the eyes do not get tired during long trips. Includes soft case and lens cleaning cloth. The design and lenses were developed jointly with specialists from S.N. Fedorov’s clinic, for which a certificate is issued.

Modern Cafa France driver's glasses cut off unnecessary part of the light spectrum, thereby reducing eye strain and increasing image contrast. They have polarized lenses that can absorb indirect light rays. Thanks to all this, a person sees better, and gets tired much less.

Cafa France lenses have a very high polarization efficiency of 99.9%. This means they provide a clear image and eliminate virtually any glare. All this distinguishes them favorably from ordinary sunglasses.

Despite the fact that lenses cut off part of the light spectrum, they do not distort the image and color gamut. That is, you won’t be able to see the world in pink (more precisely, yellow).

In conditions of limited visibility due to twilight or fog, such glasses increase contrast. The road becomes not only clearer, but also less tiring for the driver's eyes, while the glasses extinguish the glare from the headlights of oncoming cars. These are, of course, not night vision devices, but you can see the road much more clearly.

Crisley

According to statistics, about 12% of road accidents at night occur as a result of the driver being “blinded” by oncoming traffic. The reason may be high beam, poorly adjusted low beam or uncertified xenon. A translucent reflective strip is integrated into the top of the Crisli lenses - in the face of blinding oncoming light, you just need to tilt your head forward a little and look at the light source through this strip.

A distinctive feature of the Crisli model is the stylish design and comfort of the frame, made of lightweight and durable materials. The lenses are made of glass, which ensures not only scratch resistance and durability, but also the absence of distortion typical of plastic glasses in cheap counterparts.

The main problem with nighttime light is the reduction of eye exposure from the light of oncoming cars and street lamps. Our eye is most sensitive in the dark (the pupil is most dilated to receive the greatest flow of light, photographers know this by increasing ISO and how this is reflected in photographs), so even a point source of light causes a very severe irritation, up to partial loss of vision for some time.

Also, at night, objects become more contoured and more visible even in complete darkness. Also general level The illumination becomes a little higher (here due to contrast). In cloudy weather, they increase illumination, also making objects more contrasty, puddles acquire clearer and more obvious outlines, which makes them more distinguishable.

Enhances clarity and color, looks modern and stylish, and can be worn by both men and women. They allow you to see much more contrast in the evening and at dusk, helping with problems with vision adaptation at dusk, in so-called cases of “night blindness” and reducing eye fatigue.

These glasses have gained the greatest popularity among drivers, as they make driving much easier during twilight, with reflected headlights on wet asphalt, and also prevent drivers from being blinded by oncoming traffic or the bright sun. It is very convenient when moving towards the low sun, which is blinding with its rays.

A special feature of HD Vision glasses is that they can be worn over your regular glasses with diopters, if you use such glasses for vision correction.

Driving glasses have one important property - increasing image contrast. Simply put, by wearing glasses against the headlights, you begin to see better, without having to strain your eyes and squint, which leads to headaches and fatigue.

Matsuda MT093

The beneficial properties are due to the use of lenses with unique coatings and filters developed in the largest ophthalmological laboratories in Europe. The lenses protect the eyes in extremely bright lighting conditions due to photochromic and specular effects.

The main advantages of Matsuda anti-headlights are increasing the contrast and clarity of the image in poor visibility conditions (low light, fog, twilight), reducing glare from the headlights of oncoming traffic, eliminating the “double image” effect, glare and halos at night.

Chinese MATRIX Polarized glasses are produced using a special filter layer. This layer prevents the perception of horizontal sunlight and exposure to ultraviolet rays.

Protects eyes in extremely bright lighting conditions due to photochromic and mirror effects. Matrix drive polarized anti-headlights are recommended for drivers; they increase the contrast and clarity of the image in poor visibility conditions (low light, fog, twilight) and reduce glare from the headlights of oncoming traffic.

The Antifar frame is made of durable plastic, and the lenses are made of glass. Made in one of the most popular shapes that are suitable for both men and women - the famous “aviators”. The glasses themselves were developed in Russia under the leadership of ophthalmic surgeon Svyatoslav Nikolaevich Fedorov and have a certificate of conformity.

They improve visibility when driving in difficult weather conditions (fog, cloudy weather, twilight) by increasing image contrast, and block harmful UV radiation. These glasses help the driver concentrate on the road and relieve eye strain.

Not all driver's glasses are truly polarized.

Polarization check

It's very easy to check: look through the lenses at the screen of your smartphone or LCD monitor, and then turn the screen 90 degrees - the image will become completely dark.

VIDEO: How to choose anti-headlight glasses “Main Road”

Glasses - with diopters or “zeros” - are the first thing people pay attention to when they look at their face. And it is not without their help that they determine who is in front of them: a businessman, a creative person, an intellectual or someone else. Agree, it’s nice when glasses suit you not only according to your face shape, but also according to your personality. Which fashion trends men's optics appeared in 2019?

You can choose a serious option for business people.

Dear designer Sunglasses- this is not just a whim, but a status symbol. Few mere mortals can afford them. The cost of glasses takes into account the quality of the materials used, the brand name, the name of the designer, the ability to change color from light to dark (depending on lighting), scratch resistance and many other factors
