Absolute Premium Protection
Skiing can be considered to be an extreme sport owing to the fact that snow, mountains, and cold weather conditions are involved. Most people find the mountain environment quite unconventional because of the weather and light.
Enhanced Polarization
Ski goggles are an essential part of the skiing or snowboarding outfit. If one looks at them, they may think they are just meant for avoiding incoming snow. They do so much than that. There is usually a lot of glare that comes from the light reflected off of snow, and that brings a lot of risky conditions to the eyes for visual purposes.

ULTIMATE PROTECTION & CLARITY
Visible Light Transmission and Lens Color Options
When snowboarding or skiing, clear visibility is generally adamant for gliding and moving through the snow. Using a specialized and modified goggle lens can help you achieve this. Prescription ski goggles can be essential gear for those with nearsightedness and farsightedness vision.
Ski goggle prescription helps in controlling light transmission at different times of the day. This all depends on the shape and color of the lens. Usually, lenses come in two shapes, cylindrical or spherical. Cylindrical lenses wrap across your face but are flat vertically. These ski goggles help protect your eye and offer a good value.
On the other hand, spherical lenses curve both across the face and vertically. The extra curvature reduces distortion and glare and gives you a wider field of view. However, when it comes to the lens color, light conditions are put into perspective.
Lenses with light-colored tints let more light through and increase contrast. Lenses that are yellow, gold, amber, green or rose-colored, offer increased (VLT) Visible Light Transmission, especially on cloudy or socked weather.
Lenses with darker tints such as brown, grey or copper-colored have low Visible Light Transmission on more sunny or clear-sky days. Some snowboarding goggles come with clear lenses for night escapades.
High Altitude Anti-Fog Protection
Snowy mountains have a lot of foggy conditions. Ski goggles that have vents on the outside of the goggles help in keeping sweat from fogging up your lens. The wider the vents will be, the better airflow will be coming in and out.
The design of many snowboarding goggles comes with anti-fog coatings and double-layered lenses to keep your vision clear as you break a sweat. The best way to keep fog away is to preserve it and make sure snow and moisture don't get inside whenever you are not skiing.
Helmet Compatibility and Easily Adjustable Goggles
Most goggles are unisex but there are specific ones for women. This is due to the fact that women have more narrow faces. Goggles fit better when the helmet is also compatible with it. So, whenever there is a ski goggles sale, ensure you shop with it with your helmet on. Wearing snug-fitting ski goggles helps prevent any accidents due to discomfort and bad periphery visual that is on sight.
The Perfect Prescription Ski Goggles
Even though snowboard goggles may look cool, they are all about protection. Sunlight reflecting against the snow can have too much glare impact on the eyes. It is also important to protect your eyes against UVA, UVB, and UVC radiation. Even though some people may wear their prescription ski goggles over their optical glasses, it is important to consider the type of glasses. For example, OTG (Over the Glass) goggles. They give ample space to give comfort to your temples and nosepiece.
Lenses
The type of lens you wear matters according to the weather conditions in place. For example, a polarized or dark lens is best for a very bright and sunny day. They minimize reflected glare so the skier does not need to squint the eyes for better vision. Goggles with photochromic lenses are even better because they are more light-sensitive and change how they block light depending on the amount of sunlight present.
Helmets
Snow helmets are not like the ordinary bike or snowboard goggles meant just for protection. They have a lot of features such as ear coverage, vents for adjusting airflow, liners for warmth and temperature-sensitive material, and other accessories such as audio players that let you listen to music or radio.

Prescription Ski Goggles FAQ
Can you get prescription ski goggles?
Yes, you can! The difficulty for prescription ski goggles is that while normal glasses are straight a ski goggle is curved. Our prescription ski goggles are unique in that sense since they are integrated into the interior lens of the ski goggle. This means that it does not work with an insert. The way we tackle this curvature is by having a 3D-shaped holder that brings the optical glasses towards the eye while also making them stand straight with respect to the eyes. In contrast to other solutions that work with an insert.
Why do I need a prescription ski & snowboard goggle?
A lot of people wear glasses. Especially on the ski slopes, it is advised to wear them as well. Skiing remains a sport and optimal vision is very important to reduce the risk of injuries. As in any sport, safety is very important here and is supported by all relevant authorities.
Is it possible to have a correction for astigmatism?
Yes, it is! We can correct for a range of diopters as well as astigmatism. The cylinder of our glasses that corrects for astigmatism can be between -2 and +2 for standard glasses. Outside of this range, we have to custom order these glasses and they will be more expensive. We see that a lot of the orders we process are in fact also from people with astigmatism.
Why do I need prescription snow goggles when I only ski-in
A very high percentage of all ski accidents are due to visibility issues. If you need glasses and do not use prescription glasses while skiing, your 3-dimensional vision can be significantly reduced. In other words, it's hard to predict the combination of speed, distance, type of snow, and other skiers' movements without wearing your glasses, even in fine weather. This means that skiing without a correction, in any condition, can lead to accidents that could you and or other people.
Where can I find the prescription for my snow goggle lenses?
When ordering your ski or snowboard goggles on GloryEyewear we need your latest optical prescription. If it has been a while since you had a prescription or if you are not sure which strengths you need, we recommend that you get a new prescription from your ophthalmologist or optician. This way, you can be sure that you will be able to enjoy your GloryEyewear goggles for a long time to come.
Why is a GloryEyewear snow goggle so unique?
The technology we use at GloryEyewear is unique. Therefore it offers a great alternative to people with glasses who go skiing. The reason why our goggle is unique is that it is integrated into the snow goggle. This means it is not a clip or insert. Instead, the goggle is made with a double lens system of which the second lens is also a holder for the optical correction. The double lens system also decreases the likelihood of fogging since an isolation layer of air is formed between the outside and inside of the goggle. Furthermore, it is a unique concept since it comes towards the eye and decreases the distance to your glasses. This is also one of the reasons why our optical range is so big (+8 to -8).
Where can I buy a GloryEyewear prescription ski or snowboard goggle?
Today you can order our goggles online through our webshop. We do ask for a prescription because every pair of goggles is custom-made. Goggles are made-to-measure and are shipped for free in Europe. You will receive your own customized goggles within 3 to 10 working days. This delivery period is slightly longer because every pair of glasses goes through our professional hands. GloryEyewear snow goggles offer an optical range of -8 to +8.
Why do I need the anti-fog coating?
The direct integration of prescription lenses in your ski mask normally solves this problem. Nevertheless, the main issue is the level of humidity under your ski goggles. It is therefore recommended to include the anti-fog coating as this will only amplify the anti-fog performance of our solution. Our patented snow goggle has been designed for over 4 years and represents the best combination of visibility and fog-free performance. With an integrated insert that acts as an isolation layer, it offers a unique and patented technology.
Do you make the ski goggles with bifocal or progressive lenses?
Both bifocal and progressive lenses are possible with our goggles! This is because our holder is shaped like a frame for glasses. Both of these lenses can be very hand if you still want to read your plan or the messages on your phone.
Is it possible to upload or mail my prescription?
Yes is it! You can either send us an email directly (info@gloryeyewear.com) or indicate one of the options while ordering.
What do all the numbers on my prescription mean?
The prescription lenses are made using numbers that specify the types of correction needed and the magnitude of them.
The main numbers on your prescription are corrections for farsightedness (hyperopia, +) or nearsightedness (myopia, -), and astigmatism (or some combination of these). The farther the number is from zero (above or below), the stronger your prescription is (excluding the axis measurement). Finally, the pupil distance (PD) is mentioned, this is important since this will be used to match up your pupils with the optical center of lenses.
The cylinder and axis are the parameters used to define astigmatism. Axis is the degree measurement, between 0 and 180, that the cylinder is turned, the cylinder is the strength of astigmatism. It is important to include an axis since the cylinder must be rotated in a specific direction in order to counteract astigmatism.
For the sphere no direction is needed, only the power is of importance.
