Good vision and safety from prescription goggles

January 30th, 2010

Also known as corrective goggles, prescription goggles refer to goggles with prescription lenses. Most of the traditional goggles are non-prescription goggles. They are just created for eye protection during sports. However, people with myopia can not get vision correction from non-prescription goggles. For these people, prescription goggle provides the proper solution.  Wearing prescription sports goggles during activities can get good vision as well as ensured safety.

Sports activities that require you to wear goggles always need 100% attention and clear vision, such as motorcycling and skiing. Prescription goggles allow people who need vision correction to safely perform acts, otherwise eye injuries may happen. Before invention of the prescription goggle, people must wear regular correction eyeglasses or contacts and goggles to achieve both the above purposes. In this ways, their eyeglasses may sometimes get misplaced. Prescription sports goggles just offer more convenient and effective solution. In addition, prescription goggles sharpen much of the clarity that can be lost between two separate lenses. While ensuring safety, these prescription sports goggles still offer clarity as normal correction eyeglasses.

By sports type, prescription goggles also have different categories, such as skiing prescription goggle, swimming prescription goggle, motorcycle prescription goggle, prescription shooting goggles and so on. All these activities require both clear vision for good performance and top priority safety. Among them, swimming prescription goggles are most widely used.

As mentioned before, not all prescription goggles are used for outdoor sports. But with the more intensifying harmful UV rays, prescription sports goggles are recommended to apply UV protection.

Wiley-X is one of the prescription goggles manufacturers.

How were night goggles invented?

December 16th, 2009

Night goggles are the optical instruments enabling people to see in the darkness. Before inventing night goggles, people knew that some creatures living and hunting at night can capture more light and see better than human does. People knew these animals have different eye structures, but physiologically scientists could not arm human with the same eye system as animals’, so scientists started to think about electricity.

Electricity is easy to be amplified. When the lenses of night goggles capture the light from vicinity, the electronic system in the night goggles turn the dim light into electronic signals, then amplify the signals to much greater scale, and finally turn the boosted signals into light image. This new clearer image can be seen by the user of night goggles on the small screen of the night goggle.

The principium of changing the dim light entering the lenses of night goggles to electronic signals is pretty similar to the principium of solar panel, but the for former is more precise and more sensitive.

The image we see finally on the night goggles screen is of green color. Actually when the light image is boosted in the night goggle, the colors are in black and white. The green color is intentionally added to the new image as human eyes are more sensitive to the green light, so viewers can see better in green. Also looking at green images makes viewers feel easier for extended long time viewing.

Night goggle is now used in military forces and civilian areas, people finally realized the dream of seeing objects even in the pitch darkness.
