If you are buying sports glasses for running or cycling you want to choose a model of eyewear that will be light, well balanced and comfortable, and at the same time feel secure so that it does not fall off or slide down your nose when you get hot.
Sunwise have built in a number of design features in their Dublin prescription sports glasses that help to meet these criteria.
Sunwise Rx sports glasses
Like all Sunwise frames, the frame itself is light and feels well balanced and it has vented temple bars (sunglass arms) to help maintain an airflow when you are active.
The temple bars curve gently inwards, gripping your head securely but comfortably. The ends of the bars curve slightly downwards and this, combined with the inward curve means that the glasses stay in one place without making your head feel compressed or rubbing the top of your ears. The ends of the temple bars have cushioned rubber pads that also contribute to comfort.

The nose pads are well designed. Rather than being fixed, they are flexible, vented and rubberized, cushioning the frame and gently expanding to fit the profile of your nose. This design helps to provide a better fit to different nose profiles and makes it less likely that your nose will get rubbed.

Our verdict! Cyclists and runner will like the Dublin – it’s a well conceived and built piece of sports eyewear and represents good value for under £70 with insert lenses glazed to your prescription.

Sunwise Chromafusion is an innovative British designed and made product that takes sports eyewear to a new level of performance and versatility.
Chromafusion lenses combine the glare-reducing benefits of polarization with an efficient photochromic system that adjusts efficiently to changing light conditions. In bright sunshine the lenses darken to filter category 3, while in lower light they change progressively to filter category 2.

These advanced lenses make the sunglasses a flexible choice for outdoor sports such as cycling, running, golf and tennis, where the lenses will darken automatically to suit the prevailing light conditions. They are also well worth considering as driving glasses because unlike simply photochromic models, they retain filter category 2 tint when you are inside the car and the polarized lenses are good for blocking glare.
The verdict of Cycling Active magazine on Sunwise Chromafusion
“These sunglasses come with everything, and they don’t look too bad either. 100 per cent UVA & UVB protection, anti-glare, impact resistant, interchangeable lenses and an anti-scratch coating, to name just a few features.
I really like these. They’re so light you’re barely aware of wearing them and it’s a doddle to change the lenses. The lenses themselves are polycarbonate — think bullet-proof glass — and can absorb intense impacts without shattering.
Airflow is good and they’re also great at keeping the sweat out of your eyes. A highly recommended pair of sunglasses then. A light, cool design that you can rely on to safeguard your eyes in all conditions.”
