Sciare con gli occhiali da vista? Ora è possibile!

Skiing with eyeglasses? Now it's possible!

For those who wear glasses, skiing can be a problem due to the difficulty of fitting prescription lenses under ski goggles and the possibility of the lenses fogging up.

Today, however, thanks to advances in ski masks and optical technologies , skiing with glasses is not only possible , but has also become comfortable and safe.

Let's find out together how!

1. OTG Ski Goggles

OTG, “Over The Glasses” masks are specifically designed to fit over prescription glasses:

  • Wider Frame : These masks offer extra space between the lens and your face, allowing you to comfortably wear your own glasses.
  • Ventilation channels : To prevent the lenses of your glasses from fogging up, OTG masks are equipped with side openings that promote air circulation.
  • Frame Compatibility : Many OTG masks are designed to fit a variety of frame types , ensuring good visibility and comfort.

2. Masks with integrated optical lenses

A more recent and sophisticated solution is the mask with integrated optical lenses:

  • Custom lenses : Many manufacturers offer ski goggles with prescription lenses , custom-made to suit the skier's optical frame.
  • Maximum visual quality : with the integrated optical lenses, you get clear and comfortable vision without having to wear glasses under the mask.
  • Replacement systems : Some of these masks also allow you to change the lens based on light conditions , making them ideal for those skiing in variable conditions.

3. Anti-fog and anti-UV treatments

A common problem for those who ski with glasses is the fogging of the lenses, which reduces visibility and increases the risk of accidents:

  • Masks and Lenses : Some OTG masks have anti-fog treatments to prevent condensation from forming.
  • Films : For those who use normal lenses, there are anti-fog films to apply to the lenses of glasses, a convenient and easily removable option.
  • UV Protection : Both glasses and masks must have UV protection , which is essential to protect your eyesight from ultraviolet rays, especially at high altitudes.

As we have seen, skiing with glasses today is no longer a limitation, thanks to the numerous innovations of OTG masks, contact lenses, integrated optical lenses and anti-fog treatments .

By choosing the solution that best suits your needs , you can ski with glasses in total freedom and safety: explore these options to improve your experience on the snow.
