Viele Menschen tragen eine Brille. Besonders auf der Skipiste ist es ratsam, sie ebenfalls zu tragen. Skifahren bleibt ein Sport und eine optimale Sicht ist sehr wichtig, um das Verletzungsrisiko zu reduzieren. Wie in jedem Sport wird auch hier die Sicherheit groß geschrieben und von allen relevanten Behörden unterstützt.

Ja ist es! Wir können eine Reihe von Dioptrien sowie Hornhautverkrümmung korrigieren. Der Astigmatismus-korrigierende Zylinder unserer Brille kann bei Standardbrillen zwischen -2 und +2 liegen. Außerhalb dieses Sortiments müssen wir diese Gläser kundenspezifisch bestellen und sie werden teurer sein. Wir sehen, dass viele der von uns bearbeiteten Aufträge tatsächlich auch von Menschen mit Hornhautverkrümmung stammen.

Ein sehr hoher Prozentsatz aller Skiunfälle ist auf Sichtprobleme zurückzuführen. Wenn Sie eine Brille benötigen und beim Skifahren keine Korrektionsbrille verwenden, kann Ihr 3-dimensionales Sehen erheblich eingeschränkt sein. Mit anderen Worten, die Kombination aus Geschwindigkeit, Entfernung, Schneeart und den Bewegungen anderer Skifahrer ist ohne Brille auch bei schönem Wetter schwer vorherzusagen. Das bedeutet, dass Skifahren ohne Korrektion unter allen Bedingungen zu Unfällen führen kann, die Sie selbst und/oder andere Personen gefährden können.

Wenn Sie Ihre Ski- oder Snowboardbrille bei SnowVision bestellen, benötigen wir Ihre aktuelle optische Sehstärke. Wenn Ihr Rezept schon länger zurückliegt oder Sie sich nicht sicher sind, welche Stärken Sie benötigen, empfehlen wir Ihnen, sich bei Ihrem Augenarzt oder Optiker ein neues Rezept ausstellen zu lassen. So können Sie sicher sein, dass Sie lange Freude an Ihrer SnowVision-Brille haben werden.

When ordering you ski or snowboard goggles on SnowVision 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 SnowVision goggles for a long time to come.  

The technology we use at SnowVision is unique. Therefore it offers a great alternative to people with glasses who go skiing. The reason why our goggle is unique is because it is integrated into the snow goggle. This means it is not a clips 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 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).  

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 goggle within 3 to 10 working days. This delivery period is slightly longer because every pair of glasses goes through our professional hands. SnowVision snow goggles offer an optical range of -8 to +8.  

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 sk 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 an unique and patented technology.  

The outside lens is made from NXT, making it crash resistant and thus very durable. In addition to that is the lens photochromic, which means it adapts itself to the light intensity and then becomes lighter or darker. The strap is adjustable in length and has an anti-slip silicone layer on it so it stays in position. The glasses inside the insert are made of polycarbonate to ensure maximal protection for your eyes. Finally, the goggle will be delivered in a special bag that can be used for cleaning as well.  

Both bifocal and progressive lenses are possible with our goggle! 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.  

Yes is it! You can either send us an email directly (info@snowvision.net) or indicate as one of the options while ordering.  

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 centre of lenses.
The cylinder and axis are the parameters used to define the astigmatism. Axis is the degree measurement, between 0 and 180, that the cylinder is turned, the cylinder is the strength of the astigmatism.

It is important to include an axis since the cylinder must be rotated in a specific direction in order to counteract the astigmatism. For the sphere no direction is needed, only the power of it is of importance.

The most popular ski goggles are obviously from the brands everyone has heard from, if you had to name one it would probably be Oakley. Next to that you have a lot of bigger and smaller competitors like Smith, Bollé, Julbo, Adidas, Uvex, Dragon, POC and many others. We off course would like to have SnowVision goggles up there once but we take it one step at the time.  

In the place of your prescription glasses, there is a second lens holding the optical correction. This is fixed to the main frame. All this allows you to have a clear view without the need for glasses. Finally, you can forget about the discomfort of wearing your glasses or the dryness that occurs when wearing contact lenses to ski.
