What Are Prescription Lenses For Swimming Goggles?

The use of prescription lenses is limited to people who wear corrective glasses on a daily basis. If you wear glasses, then a pair of prescription lenses will ensure you can still see properly when you are wearing your swimming goggles. A pair of prescription swimming goggles must be obtained from your optician, as this requires a pair of lenses that are specifically made for your eyes.

What Are Clear Lenses For Swimming Goggles?

Clear lenses are most suitable for indoor use, which means you will often encounter them at indoor swimming pools. Swim goggles with clear lenses allow clear vision and excellent clarity, but they cannot reduce the bright sunlight you can encounter outdoors. So, your regular pair of clear swimming goggles will not do much on the beach or an environment with bright sunlight. Please note that clear swimming goggles can have an additional UV protection coating, this provides ample protection against UV rays. However, because they do not filter out some of the brightness in the outdoors, peripheral vision can be reduced when used in those outdoor conditions.

What Are Polarised Lenses For Swimming Goggles?

Polarised lenses fulfil the function that clean lenses cannot, more specifically filtering out the glare from reflective surfaces in the outdoors, this may include light shining on the ocean or a lake. Because of the glare-reducing ability of polarised swimming goggles, many people will use them for outdoor swimming. They are popular with athletes who swim in triathlons as well as open water swimmers.

What Are Mirrored Lenses For Swimming Goggles?

Mirrored lenses can be compared to polarised lenses, as they are also used in bright and sunny environments. However, they do not work in exactly the same way. Mirrored lenses reflect light away from the eyes, which means any view you get through these goggles will be inherently darker. Despite its ability to reflect bright light, polarised lenses are still the preferred option for open water swimming because they're much more effective for glare reduction. However, this does not mean mirrored lenses do not have applications. In fact, mirrored lenses can provide better sight in over-lit indoor pools.
