Why Athletes Who Need Vision Correction Need Specialized Eyewear
Regular glasses are not designed for wind, trail debris, rapid movement or a stable fit under a helmet. Sports sunglasses add coverage and security, but riders who need correction also need a clear and accurate way to see.
SAOLAR solves this with two separate optical elements. The large outer sports lens manages light and protects against wind, dust and insects. Your custom corrective lenses are fitted into a small removable prescription frame positioned inside the sunglasses, behind the outer lens. The prescription is not built into the large outer lens.
How the SAOLAR Prescription Insert Works
Corrective lenses in a removable inner frame
The corrective lenses are made from the prescription information supplied for each eye and fitted into the SAOLAR TR90 prescription frame. This inner frame clips securely inside the sunglasses and can be removed for cleaning or transferred to another compatible SAOLAR pair.
A separate outer sports lens
The outer lens remains a non-prescription sports shield. Depending on the model, it can provide photochromic tint adjustment, UV400 protection, a mirror finish and wide wraparound coverage. These functions remain separate from the vision correction supplied by the inner lenses.
One prescription insert for SAOLAR sunglasses
The same SAOLAR prescription frame is compatible across the SAOLAR sunglasses range. You can therefore keep your fitted insert when changing models, provided your prescription remains current and the lenses are in good condition.
Benefits of the SAOLAR Insert System
- Wraparound protection: the large outer lens keeps its sport-focused coverage.
- Accurate correction: the smaller inner lenses are made to the values supplied in your prescription.
- Transferable setup: the fitted insert can move between compatible SAOLAR sunglasses.
- Simpler replacement: a change of outer sunglasses does not automatically require a second prescription insert.
- Online ordering: SAOLAR can manufacture and fit the corrective lenses before dispatch.
Because two lens surfaces are used, correct fitting and regular cleaning matter. Keep both the outer lens and the prescription insert clean and allow them to dry fully to reduce reflections and fogging.
Which Prescription Options Does SAOLAR Offer?
SAOLAR’s online prescription system is designed for single-vision correction. The available lens indices include 1.56, 1.61, 1.67 and 1.71, subject to the values supported by the order form.
Enter the sphere (SPH), cylinder (CYL), axis and pupillary distance (PD) exactly as written on your current prescription. If your prescription contains an ADD value, prism or a value that is not available online, contact SAOLAR before ordering. Do not substitute a nearby value.
SAOLAR does not describe this system as direct glazing: the corrective lenses sit in the removable inner frame rather than being cut into the large photochromic or mirrored shield.
How to Order SAOLAR Prescription Sports Sunglasses
- Choose your SAOLAR sunglasses. Select the outer-lens technology and frame shape that suit your activity.
- Add the prescription option. Enter the requested values for both eyes and your PD.
- Review the order. Confirm that it includes the prescription frame and custom corrective lenses, not only an empty mount.
- Receive the fitted setup. SAOLAR manufactures the inner lenses, fits them into the insert and sends the assembly with your sunglasses.
You still need a current prescription from an eye-care professional. Online ordering simplifies manufacture and fitting but does not replace an eye examination.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the corrective lenses integrated into the large outer lens?
No. They are fitted into a removable inner prescription frame located behind the outer sports lens.
Can I combine correction with a photochromic outer lens?
Yes. The inner lenses provide the correction while the separate outer photochromic lens changes tint with the light.
Can I move my prescription insert to another SAOLAR pair?
Yes. The same prescription frame is designed to fit across SAOLAR sunglasses.
Does the corrective lens mount include prescription lenses?
The mount alone is only the frame. A complete prescription setup also requires custom lenses made from your prescription.
What if my prescription is not supported by the online form?
Contact SAOLAR before ordering so the team can confirm whether it can be supplied.
Clear Vision Without Changing the Outer Sports Lens
SAOLAR combines a removable prescription insert with a separate protective sports lens. This keeps vision correction, photochromic performance and wraparound protection in clearly defined components that are easier to understand, order and use.
