Beaucoup de gens portent des lunettes. Surtout sur les pistes de ski, il est conseillé de les porter également. Le ski reste un sport et une vision optimale est très importante pour réduire les risques de blessures. Comme dans tout sport, la sécurité est très importante ici et est soutenue par toutes les autorités compétentes.

Oui c'est le cas! Nous pouvons corriger une gamme de dioptries ainsi que l'astigmatisme. Le cylindre de nos verres qui corrige l'astigmatisme peut être compris entre -2 et +2 pour des verres standards. En dehors de cette gamme, nous devons commander ces verres sur mesure et ils seront plus chers. Nous constatons que bon nombre des commandes que nous traitons proviennent également de personnes astigmates.

Un pourcentage très élevé de tous les accidents de ski sont dus à des problèmes de visibilité. Si vous avez besoin de lunettes et que vous n'utilisez pas de lunettes de prescription lorsque vous skiez, votre vision en 3 dimensions peut être considérablement réduite. Autrement dit, il est difficile de prédire la combinaison vitesse, distance, type de neige et mouvements des autres skieurs sans porter ses lunettes, même par beau temps. Cela signifie que skier sans correction, dans n'importe quelle condition, peut entraîner des accidents qui pourraient vous-même et ou d'autres personnes.

Lors de la commande de votre masque de ski ou de snowboard sur SnowVision, nous avons besoin de votre dernière prescription optique. Si cela fait un moment que vous n'avez pas reçu d'ordonnance ou si vous n'êtes pas sûr des dosages dont vous avez besoin, nous vous recommandons d'obtenir une nouvelle ordonnance auprès de votre ophtalmologiste ou de votre opticien. De cette façon, vous pouvez être sûr que vous pourrez profiter longtemps de vos lunettes SnowVision.

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.
