Clear / Blue / Other Lenses - Exercie

When looking for a new pair of swimming goggles, you'll come across words like "clear", "blue", "smoke" or "mirror" lens, which all refer to the colour of the lenses in the swimming goggles. This affects the environment in which they are best suited. On this page you will find a wide range of swimming goggles with clear, blue or other coloured lenses, each with their own characteristics. So take a look around the category and find the ones that suit you best.

What can the different types of lenses do?

Once you have a rough idea of the general characteristics of the different coloured lenses, it all becomes a bit more manageable. That's why we'll also go a little deeper into the different types of swimming goggles you'll find in this category. This will also make it easier for you to choose

Swimming goggles with clear lenses

With a pair of swimming goggles with clear lenses, you see everything in its natural light, which means their primary function is to give you the best vision underwater and protect your eyes. On the other hand, they don't shield you from bright or strong light and flashes of light. This means you can risk being dazzled while swimming.

That's why they're best suited for places where it's dimly lit or dark. This could be at the swimming pool or outside in the early morning or late evening when the sun is not yet shining as brightly.

Since people's sensitivity to light differs from person to person, it's safe to say that they are suitable for environments where you wouldn't need sunglasses, such as at the swimming pool.

Swimming goggles with blue lenses

A pair of swimming goggles with a blue lenses - just like swimming goggles with clear lenses - allows some light to pass through. The difference is that here you get a blue view, which helps against glare from the surface of the water, for example. Thus, they are a mix of two worlds, where you get a relatively natural view, but are still protected from bright light in moderate strength.

This makes them great if you're swimming in the pool or in open water where the sun isn't shining the strongest. For example, on a semi-cloudy day. Of course, it also works indoors, where they protect you from flashes of light from lamps or glare from the surface of the water.

Swimming goggles with other lenses

There are also swimming goggles with other colours than blue lenses. The reason it's highlighted is really just because it's more popular than the other colours. Their function is the same: to shield you from glare or moderately bright light and flashes of light.

Therefore, it's also about choosing the colour you feel is best for you and your eyes, which can be very individual.

In this category, however, there is a special type of coloured lenses - swimming goggles with polarised lenses. Similar to coloured lenses, they are designed to let as much light through as possible, but still shield against bright flashes of light.

This is why this type is also very popular for open water swimming and among triathletes, especially because they provide good visibility but are better at reducing light reflections than, for example, swimming goggles with blue lenses. What's even better is that due to their special coating, your eyes are better able to adapt to changing light conditions - just not too bright light.
