They’re an excellent choice for cyclists tackling unpredictable weather. Important Note: The activation of photochromic lenses depends on the presence of UV rays in the atmosphere. Therefore, in certain situations, the lenses may not activate as expected. Additionally, photochromic lenses do not activate indoors or inside vehicles.

Unfortunately, scratches on lenses cannot be removed, even if the lenses are high-quality and feature an anti-scratch coating. With constant use, they can still sustain damage. To prevent scratches, we recommend cleaning the lenses with water and mild soap and always storing them in the protective case provided with every pair of Scicon Sports sunglasses.

If your lenses do get scratched, Scicon Sports offers the Scratched Lens Replacement Program (SLRP), which allows you to replace them at minimal shipping and handling costs. More information: Scicon Sports Scratched Lens Replacement Program (SLRP)

Each sports lens is designed for a specific use. The choice of lens depends on the weather conditions in which it will be used. When purchasing, always check the light transmission level and lens category. Bright light conditions: Opt for a lens with low light transmission (15%-20%) and a high category (3). Low light or rainy conditions: Choose a lens with high light transmission (50%) and a low category (1). Scicon Sports offers a wide range of lens colors and light transmission options. All technical specifications are available on the product pages of our website.

The market offers a wide range of options, but it's important to note that the cheapest choices are not always the best in terms of quality. When purchasing, it is advisable to choose a manufacturer specialized in sports eyewear. Be cautious of companies that simply add their logo to sunglasses made with low-quality materials and cheap lenses to cut costs. Designing sports sunglasses requires expertise, knowledge, know-how, rigorous testing, and compliance with legal standards. Prioritize brands that invest in these areas. Do not compromise on eye protection.

Our team of designers and engineers has been developing sports eyewear for over 20 years, creating products specifically designed to accommodate prescription lenses and ensure high-level performance. However, the responsibility for the mounting and functionality of the prescription lenses lies with the optician, who is the expert in selecting, centering, and adapting the lenses to your specific visual needs. If the optician determines that the insert is not compatible or cannot guarantee optimal results, they may decide not to proceed. Our role is to design and provide a reliable RX insert ready to accommodate prescription lenses, while the optician’s role is to choose and adapt the lenses themselves to ensure optimal fit and functionality. Scicon Sports does not assume any responsibility for visual adaptation issues related to the mounting or selection of lenses by the optician.

To ensure the maximum durability and performance of your sports sunglasses, proper maintenance and cleaning after every workout or race are essential. Rinse your sunglasses with lukewarm water to remove dust, sweat, and dirt, avoiding hot water. Use a mild, non-abrasive detergent and avoid paper towels or abrasive materials that might scratch the lenses. Gently dab the lenses with a soft microfiber cloth to prevent streaks or scratches. Once cleaned, store your sunglasses in their protective case to shield them from dust and impacts. By following these steps, your sunglasses will remain in excellent condition, ensuring comfort and optimal performance.

No, that's not entirely true. The ability to fit prescription lenses on sports eyewear frames depends on the specific model and the technology available. Some models, such as the Scicon Aerojet, allow corrective lenses to be installed directly onto the frame - without the need for internal inserts - offering a highly technical and aesthetically refined solution.

Alternatively, for lighter prescriptions, a removable internal optical insert can be used. This is a practical, affordable, and accessible option, though slightly less effective in terms of visual field and aesthetics.

An optician should also be able to recommend the correct lens color and type based on the sport practiced and the athlete’s visual needs.

Many opticians claim this isn’t possible simply because they lack the necessary equipment or expertise, or they don’t collaborate with laboratories specialized in high-curvature sports frames, technical materials, or shaped lenses. In reality, the limitation is not objective, but technical or commercial - often due to lack of experience in the sports optics sector.

For this reason, it is essential to consult an optician or optometrist with expertise in RX sports optics.

Polarized lenses feature a special filter that reduces glare from horizontal surfaces like water, asphalt, or glass. This filter blocks horizontally reflected light, responsible for glare, allowing only useful vertical light to pass through. The result is sharper vision, more vibrant colors, and enhanced visual comfort. Perfect for driving and water sports, polarized lenses improve detail perception, reduce eye fatigue, and provide clearer, more natural vision in bright light conditions. Scicon Sports polarized lenses incorporate a high-efficiency polarizing film layered within optical-grade polycarbonate, selectively absorbing horizontal light waves and drastically reducing glare intensity. Additionally, they are treated with an anti-scratch coating, ensuring durability and consistent performance in demanding environments.

Blue light blocking lenses are optical filters with a special coating designed to reduce the amount of high-energy visible (HEV) blue light emitted by digital screens, Led lighting, and electronic devices. While natural blue light from sunlight is beneficial for regulating the sleep-wake cycle, prolonged exposure to artificial blue light may cause eye strain, headaches, blurred vision, and sleep disturbances. Scicon Sports X-Blue™️ lenses provide selective filtration of wavelengths between 380 and 500 nm, with enhanced focus on the most harmful range (400–450 nm). This helps the eyes relax and supports faster visual recovery, especially when using tablets, phones, video games, or watching TV after physical activity. Scientific studies show that exposure to blue light can delay the onset of sleep by up to 1.5 hours. Wearing Scicon Sports eyewear with X-Blue™️ lenses can improve sleep quality and contribute to overall well-being. Please note: blue light blocking lenses are a supportive solution for visual protection, but they do not replace medical treatment for eye conditions or insomnia.

The optical insert sits between the sunglass lens and your face, limiting airflow; for this reason, fogging may occur if the prescription lenses installed do not feature an anti-fog treatment. To reduce the problem, we recommend asking your optician to apply an anti-fog coating to the insert’s lenses during installation. Alternatively, you can use anti-fog wipes, which are widely available on the market and can be applied when needed.

The optical insert is positioned inside the eyewear, behind the sun lens, and is smaller than the main lens. As a result, the peripheral area of the sun lens does not include optical correction, which may create the perception of a slightly reduced lateral field of view compared to direct prescription sport lenses. This is a common characteristic of all optical inserts: the corrective lens is placed directly in front of your line of sight to ensure sharp vision within the primary visual axis, while the lateral area remains outside the corrected zone. This effect does not compromise performance, but it is important to be aware of it when choosing between an optical insert and corrective lenses mounted on adapters that cover the entire field of view. Scicon Sports offers corrective solutions both with optical inserts and with full-coverage prescription lens adapters.
