The eyes, as the window to the human soul, are a channel for us to contact and receive the information the world brings to us. "Your eyes can talk" is true. Eyes allow us to see through a person. As a family of donkey friends, many friends usually like to ride their bikes to travel, and their eyes will inevitably be exposed to the outdoors for a long time and suffer various unexpected injuries. In the process of traveling, you should take care of your eyes and protect your eyes as much as possible.

Numerous unfavorable factors, such as ultraviolet rays, wind and sand, and sweat, can cause a certain degree of damage to the eyes. And many riders tend to ignore the protection of the eyes. Over time, the eyes may feel uncomfortable, and even some habitual bad actions during riding will cause diseases, and it is easy to suffer from conjunctivitis!

It is very important to protect your eyes while riding! Today, let's talk about how to protect your eyes while riding.

Protect Eyes

The first step in protecting your eyes is to prevent sandstorms. In the process of riding, the speed of the car can reach tens of kilometers per hour. At this time, if we expose our naked eyes, the wind blowing on the face will undoubtedly be a big damage to the eyes. In addition, if it encounters wind and sand, the eyes will easily enter the sand. In addition to the wind blowing, if there is no protection, it will naturally cause trachoma, and the eyes will often be red and congested. To avoid this, if you ride a motorcycle, you can wear a helmet with windshield lenses on the front to block the wind and sand. If you are riding a bicycle, it is better to wear windproof glasses that fit your face.

The second step in protecting your eyes is to block the sun's ultraviolet rays and strong light. When outdoors during the day, people who are often exposed to the harsh sunlight can't open their eyes and it's hard to tell. This feeling can be felt without much talking. It is like the strong light of art in the dark night, which can temporarily blind people. If this is the case for a long time, the eyes will suffer from cataracts. The most effective way to avoid strong light damage to your eyes is to wear sunglasses and do not look directly at the strong light.

The third step in eye protection is to reduce visual fatigue. We often wear sunglasses in order to block the strong light of the sun, but ordinary sunglasses also reduce the surrounding light while blocking the strong light, which will make people unable to clearly distinguish the surrounding markers, increase the burden on the eyes, and make the eyes transition. Stress causes visual fatigue. Some sunglasses with polarized light can make up for this shortcoming, blocking the sunlight while enhancing the resolution of surrounding buildings and reducing the visual burden on the eyes.

Eye protection is a very important thing. We need to start with the details during cycling trips. Remember to wear sunglasses that suit you when preparing travel equipment.

Choosing the Right Cycling Glasses

Cycling glasses are the equipment that can directly protect the eyes during cycling. A suitable cycling glasses can not only obtain a comfortable visual experience, but also can resist wind and sand and block ultraviolet rays.

1. Wearing comfort

The choice of cycling glasses must first consider comfort, which is related to the texture, size, and weight of the glasses. Try to try them on first, and then buy them. Professional cycling glasses generally use anti-slip materials on the nose pads to ensure stability during vigorous exercise; in addition, most of the cycling glasses designs in recent years will add additional vents to reduce lens fogging and increase comfort. .

2. Lens color

When choosing cycling glasses, it is important to consider the filtering and UV protection functions of lenses for harmful light, and different lenses have different absorption and filtering effects on different light. Therefore, when choosing cycling glasses, you also need to consider your usual riding environment. , make different choices for different environments.

●Black lenses are suitable for strong light such as noon light, and have good effects on UV protection, glare filtering and harmful light.
●Purple lenses can reduce the degree of visible light entering the eye without affecting the clarity of vision.

●Blue lenses are tried in foggy or low visibility weather.
●The red-orange lenses are the best overall, and can make the surrounding terrain extremely clear.
●The yellow lens is suitable for use in dim light conditions and at night, reducing the reflection of light from the lens, achieving a brightening effect and improving clarity.
●Gray lenses provide the best color perception.
●Colorless lenses are ideal for foggy or gray weather, and are mostly used for wind and rain protection.
●Reflective-coated lenses are essential for riding on the plateau, and are useful in snow or plateau areas with strong ultraviolet rays.

3. Lens material

The material of cycling glasses must be flexible, resistant to pressure and impact, so that if you fall down during cycling, you will not hurt your eyes due to broken glasses. Generally speaking, resin lenses are better, have good elasticity and strength, light texture, and feel very comfortable to wear; while glass lenses are absolutely prohibited in the manufacture of cycling glasses.

Cycling glasses need to have a good anti-ultraviolet effect in order to play a good protective role, and the lenses need to be able to filter some stray light that is harmful to the eyes. To see the quality of the lens, you can shake it in front of your eyes. If the object moves with the lens, it means that the mirror surface is not flat, and it is not a good lens.

4. Frame design

The frame selection requires softness, elasticity, impact resistance, and safety to protect the face from damage during exercise. The veneer design of the frame keeps the eyes close to the edge of the frame to prevent eye irritation from strong winds during fast movements.

5. Ordinary sunglasses are not a substitute for cycling glasses

(1) The design of sunglasses is not suitable for sports, which will cause the frame to slide down or even fall while riding.

(2) Sunglasses generally do not have an anti-fogging function, which can easily cause blurring of the lenses in hot and cold weather, causing danger.

(3) Compared with cycling glasses, ordinary sunglasses still lack the function of windproof and preventing foreign objects from entering the eyes.

6. How to choose cycling glasses for myopia?

(1) Cycling glasses with invisible + windproof effect: If you wear invisible cycling, you must choose cycling glasses with good windproof effect, which may cause invisible dryness and cause damage. Do not use this method in long-distance riding.

(2) Buy cycling glasses with inner myopia frames: It is a cost-effective option, but the weight increases, the field of view is limited, the lenses are easily soiled, and the curvature of the endoscope does not meet the requirements of sports optics.

(3) Clamshell cycling glasses: Myopic lenses are equipped on the frame of cycling glasses, and the coated PC lens is connected to the frame through a "flip" device, which is more secure and safer than the solution using clips, but has fewer styles and is more expensive. high.

(4) Customized myopia cycling glasses: It is a relatively high-end solution, which can provide the most suitable optical adjustment under the curvature of cycling glasses. Except for the thickness of the lens, it is no different from ordinary cycling glasses. Of course, the price Naturally not cheap.
(5) One-piece helmet with goggles: You can wear daily glasses inside, but there are not many goggle helmets that support wearing ordinary glasses. It may be sultry in summer and the price is not close to the people.

Pay attention to eye hygiene

Be sure to keep the sweat from your forehead from getting into your eyes! Human sweat is often weakly acidic. When sweat comes into contact with the eyeball, in addition to feeling obvious discomfort, it will also cause certain damage to the eyeball. Moreover, sweat can also bring bacteria into the eye.

If it is not dealt with in time, the sweat accidentally flows into the eyes, please remember, do not habitually wipe it with your hands! Especially when wearing gloves! When riding, a large amount of bacteria will be attached to the hands and gloves. Directly wiping the eyes will cause the bacteria to invade the eyeball, causing eye diseases such as conjunctivitis, and seriously endangering eye health.

The correct way to deal with it is to carry a clean paper towel with you. If the sweat accidentally flows into your eyes, gently wipe it off with a paper towel. Don't use it for a while and habitually wipe your eyes with your hands!

In riding, eye protection is often overlooked. Today, I will introduce relevant knowledge to you. I hope it can attract the attention of every rider. Remember these two points, so that your eyes can get full attention when riding. Protect.
