One of our latest efforts to educate consumers about the connection
between healthy sight and athletic performance involves the sponsorship of the
American-based pro cycling Team Garmin-Transitions, which will train and
compete in the US and around the world wearing Transitions adaptive
eyewear. Check out Team
Garmin-Transitions in the upcoming Amgen Tour of California, America’s largest
cycling race, May 16-23.
We’ve fitted the riders with Transitions lenses, in an effort to
enhance their vision so they can accurately
navigate the terrain and overcome obstacles such as changing light conditions,
eye fatigue and glare as they race across hundreds of miles every day. Plus,
Transitions lenses block 100% of UV rays, so the riders can protect the
long-term health of their eyes as well.
This is an exciting venture
for us, one that reflects not only the importance of quality sight in terms of
sports performance, but also reinforces its role as part of an overall healthy
lifestyle. For all outdoor sports enthusiasts—whether you’re a professional cyclist,
enjoying a leisurely bike ride or a spectator cheering from the crowd—having
the right eyewear can make for a more comfortable outdoor experience and help
preserve your eyesight for a lifetime.
