There is no denying that being to see well while on a bicycle is crucial. So riders opt for corrective lenses, but what do riders who wear reading glasses do? While obviously seeing the road is the paramount concern, being able to see a heart rate monitor or cycling computer is also a concern.
And here is where Dual Eyewear addresses the issue.We first heard about these last year, but the glasses are making the rounds on the blogosphere, which reminded us we should get our eyes checked, and decided to remind readers as cycling season is upon us. The Dual Eyewear glasses work much like regular bifocal glasses, with the lower part providing the magnification of reading glasses. The top part isn’t manipulated and instead these are regular sunglasses – but these won’t affect vision if the rider is wearing corrective contact lenses. The magnification area reportedly isn’t too noticeable while looking straight ahead but help make for a clearer view when looking down. The lenses are 100 percent UV protecting and shatter-proof polycarbonate, available in both clear and amber.
The Dual Eyewear glasses are available in three magnification levels and each pair costs just $50, which isn’t a bad price for being able to see the cycling computer and the road.
