Prevent UV Damage: Sunglasses block harmful UV rays from the sun, protecting your eyes from long-term exposure to UV radiation, as long-term exposure to UV rays may increase the risk of developing cataracts, eye surface diseases, and retinal damage.
Reduce Glare: Sunglasses can also reduce glare from the sun, vehicle reflections, and other bright light sources, providing a clearer view.
Prevent Foreign Objects from Entering the Eyes.
However, I still recommend that those planning to cycle long-term choose cycling glasses. In addition to preventing UV damage, reducing glare, and preventing foreign objects from entering the eyes, cycling glasses offer several advantages that regular sunglasses do not:
Lighter Weight: Cycling glasses are more lightweight, reducing the burden of wearing them. They remain comfortable even after long periods.
Better Fit and Coverage: Cycling glasses typically have larger lenses that fit the face better. In the forward-leaning cycling position, the forehead is tilted forward, and the curvature of cycling glasses conforms to the face, providing UV protection (UV protection).
Improved Safety: The materials of the lenses and frames offer much better protection in case of a crash compared to regular sunglasses.
Stylish Design: Cycling glasses have a distinctive and stylish look specific to cycling.
Impact Resistance.
Stability: The design of cycling glasses ensures they remain securely in place on bumpy roads, reducing the risk of falling off and increasing safety during cycling.
Anti-Fog and Water Resistance: Cycling glasses often come with anti-fog and water-resistant coatings, ensuring clear vision in various weather conditions.
In conclusion, while sunglasses can also be worn while cycling, cycling glasses are more suited to the specific demands of cycling.
