Eyewears are essential for every cyclist. Even if you are not using prescription glasses otherwise, it is mandatory in a way that you use sunglasses while riding your bike, motorised or otherwise. Eyewear is necessary for a biker and cyclist simply because of the vulnerability your eyes are under while you ride. Dust particles, minuscule insects and light from headlights of vehicles are some of the enemies of your eyes while you ride.

There are some factors that you need to consider when you buy sunglasses in Mauritius. Firstly, take a look at the frame. Metal frames are quite popular in the usual segment but for cyclists, metal frames can be a deal-breaker. Your eyes can be at quite risk if you have metal jagging around your eyes. If there is any impact on it, in an accident, your eyes would be in great danger. Polycarbonate lenses along with plastic frames are excellent in this domain. They are light to wear and durable as well. Moreover, they can cover your eyes fully, leaving them well-protected.

Next up on your consideration list should be the lenses. As with the frames, they can be of various types. You need lenses that have 100% protection from ultraviolet rays of the sun. Your sunglasses should block both UVA and UVB rays. You also need your lenses to be shatter-proof. There is no point in wishing away the possibility of an accident. It can happen anytime. In such situations, your lenses should not break up into pieces and affect your eyes. Finally, your lenses need anti-glare coating. This coating is more essential during night when vehicles around you are using headlights.

Finally, you need to look at the fit of the sunglasses on your face. Many of the options among sunglasses in Mauritius have an extra bit of cushion on the bridge of the nose. This stops an ugly mark from making itself prominent on the nose. You should ensure that the sunglasses are sitting squarely on your face. You can’t have eyewear running down your nose while you ride your cycle! Additionally, the frame should not block your peripheral vision. The frame should also not be so tight on your face as to disallow drying of perspiration from the areas around the eyes. You wouldn’t want vapour forming on your lenses while you ride.
