Carrera Eyewear

By Aaliyah Walker


When it comes to sport one of the most important aspects is making sure that you have a clear vision to ensure that you can compete at the highest level. Skiing and rock climbing are two of the most dangerous sports going around and if your eyesight is impaired even for a fraction of a second the results could be a horrific injury or even death.

Specialising in manufacturing designs for adventure sports competitors, the Carrera brand has been providing quality eye protection for skiers and mountain climbers for almost fifty years.

Originally designed to provide comfortable and practical eyewear for skiers, it is not hard to see why the glasses became such an instant hit in their home country of Austria, a country popular with local skiers and tourists. Although it is not always clear to see why sunglasses are needed when skiing, they are infact a crucial part of any skier's outfit and are needed to prevent serious sun damage to a skier's eyes.

Although the sun doesn't often shine on the ski slopes, when it does it can be twice as damaging as being on regular ground. This is because the sun's rays reflect off the snow and ice directly into the eyes of any skiers. Aside from the fact that it can be incredibly difficult to see through the glare that this produces, it can also cause twice as much damage to the retina of the eye.

Mountain climbing is another sport that has greatly benefitted from the introduction of the Carrera Sunglasses brand. This sport requires the use of sunglasses for two main purposes, the first being to prevent the climber's eyes from sun damage and the second being to keep any falling rocks or stones from entering the eyes of the climbers, which could possibly cause them an injury.
