Riding with the right eyewear

As anyone who has ever rider a motorcycle knows, bikers have a huge potential for road hazards on an open face.  The threat of dust, gravel, bugs, and other road debris is always present so proper eye protection is greatly important.  One of the best ways to get great eye and face protection is the use of a full faced helmet with a face shield.  The combination of a full helmet and face screen keeps the hazards of the road off of the riders face.

Not all bikers enjoy a helmet however and where permitted do not wear helmets leading to a lack of that important face shield.  With the eyes exposed there is a potential for damage to the eyes from the previously mentioned road hazards and also the sun.

Ultra violet radiation from the sun can cause several conditions which can lead to loss of vision, diminished sight, and loss of visual acuity due to retina damage as well as cancer around the eye.  The use of proper eye wear can lessen these forms of damage to the eye by blocking the UV radiation from entering the eye.

The sun also emits infrared radiation that brings the heat to the skin and eyes which dry, scratchy, uncomfortable eyes that adds to discomfort while riding a motorcycle.  With all of the wind in your face the last thing that you need is any additional dryness and discomfort to distract you from the road.

So what do you need to look for when selecting a decent pair of glasses to protect your eyes?  Any pair of sunglasses that offers 100% Full Spectrum UV protection for sunny as well as cloudy days is a good place to begin.  The helpful addition of lenses that will also protect against the suns infrared radiation through the use of IR filtering Polycarbonate lenses adds to the comfort of a bikers eyes also.

And of course, the main purpose of sunglasses, being able to block some of the visible light that glares on us on bright and sunny days.
