Prescription glasses and sports ? A combination that really works, all you need is the right tools. NRC has this in mind, too, with a series of prescription glasses and other solutions for enjoying sports without limits. Prescription glasses and sports: what you need to know Cycling, running, climbing ... All unique and unattainable experiences in their own way, which only true athletes can truly understand. These are moments where it's just us and our bodies, ready to give life to something truly exceptional: yes, for us at NRC, sport is truly a serious matter. However, every experience of this kind cannot and should never be limited: those who love experiencing moments like this want to do it 100% , but often small external factors risk compromising everything. Our Research & Development team has therefore identified a problem and devised a solution. What is it? Often, those with poor eyesight struggle to find a suitable solution for enjoying sports without compromise: wearing glasses is often essential, but they aren't always a comfortable and effective solution. That's why we at NRC have invested time and resources in creating an entire optical department , with a series of solutions specifically designed to allow everyone to fully enjoy the sport they love. Following extensive testing, first in the lab and then in the field, we have created designs that combine comfort and high-end visual performance, with any type of ophthalmic lens . Prescription sports glasses: direct or clip-on? No, it's not just a matter of aesthetics: when you play sports, you know how much the most important aspect is always comfort . That's why we've created two different ways to make the most of your prescription lenses with our best sports sunglasses: Direct gradation Gradation via clip Direct prescription glasses Let's start with the first: what is it? Direct prescription glasses involve installing your lenses inside our frames, combining a professional sports solution—our frames are stable thanks to adjustable nose pads and feature numerous features designed to enhance performance—with the ability to see through lenses designed precisely for your needs. The NRC catalog offers a whole range of models that utilize direct prescription, and now we'll recommend a few… Let's start with the RX1 model , one of the most versatile in our entire collection. These urban-style glasses feature a frame designed for total comfort from every angle. When you purchase them on our website or at one of our authorized retailers, you'll find spectacular ZEISS superNYLENS lenses included: the only ones with 70% more clarity, 20% less weight, non-deformable, and with hydrophobic and oleophobic treatments. If you wish, you can visit your trusted optician to have your own prescription lenses fitted. If you're looking for the perfect pair of glasses for enjoying your free time, our Lifestyle Collection is packed with models designed specifically for direct prescription. An example? Our WX3.MILANO , which blends a classic, sophisticated shape with an exclusive design featuring taut, flowing lines. Glasses with refined details, perfect for post-race enjoyment and aperitif time in pure Made in Italy style. We conclude this selection of direct prescription glasses with a model perfect for water sports, made with an innovative floating material. We're talking about our X5.TPX.BKME.POL , which come with the exclusive LightPro lenses from ZEISS : the best selective polarized lenses in the world, designed to improve the visual experience for surfing, sailing, fishing, and rowing. The frame is designed to accommodate your own prescription lenses, to always guarantee all the comfort you need. Clip-on prescription glasses Let's move on to prescription lenses with the OSS clip : an optical support that allows you to quickly and easily insert your prescription lenses into the various NRC models. A practical solution for enjoying sports without interruptions and always having your lenses available. Starting from our best sports collection, we have created two models designed specifically for this type of prescription. Our X5.TPX.BK models feature the special floating frame mentioned above, and a whole series of features designed specifically for experiencing sports without limits . The same goes for the X5.VE.BK model , made from 100% plant material and suitable for both professional and amateur multisport use. Both guarantee precision and stability thanks to the special adjustable nose pad, a perfect fit for men and women... And they are sold together with our OSS clip, which your trusted optician will prepare with lenses designed especially for you. Most NRC sports glasses are designed for prescription lenses with an internal clip, which you can securely fasten thanks to the versatile shape of our frames. To ensure you're buying the right glasses, just look for the " Prescription " logo on the product page! Some examples? Our X3.VE.BKPI.GR are clip-on prescription glasses, like all the models in the LUXE.65 Collection : glasses with a unique style designed to best express our concept of Luxury Sport Eyewear. Clip-on prescription glasses are also available, of course, for all models made with the exclusive ALMATT+® technology . Tips for your prescription sports glasses We've taken a detailed look at what it means to use prescription eyewear for your sports activity: it's a choice to make carefully, always based on your needs and the sport you engage in. At NRC, we've designed solutions for every situation, keeping in mind the most important aspect of all: you. What really matters is not the aesthetics, but the actual use you will make of them. Our products are in fact designed to guarantee the highest level of performance for every athlete, and for every single person who loves experiencing sport and all its emotions. Let's close with some advice on choosing and caring for your prescription glasses: Start with your needs: what do you really need to improve your sports experiences? Consider which shade to choose, direct or clip-on? Choose the model that best suits the sport you practice most, or alternatively go for a pair of multisport glasses.

We've already talked about ALMATT+® , the exclusive patent from NRC Eyewear capable of creating unique effects, designed to leave you speechless and stand out in a crowd. Always. But it's not just a question of style: ALMATT+® is a technology born from years and years of Research & Development , which has allowed us at NRC to create unique and inimitable products. How? Let's take a look together, with some insights ahead of the arrival of the new collections. ALMATT+®: the treatment for a WOW effect. Style and excellence without sacrificing performance and high quality. This is where ALMATT+® comes from, our patented solution designed to bring a breath of fresh air to the world of sports optics. A solution conceived from a paradox: taking irreconcilable alternatives like matte and glossy and, with the right touches, combining them into a unique and inimitable product. The existence of one implies the absence of the other… Until now. The fusion of these two concepts allows for a contrast that, without limiting the wearer's visual quality, makes the glasses an object of striking design . A true work of art, in short. The manufacturing process will clearly require much greater effort, precisely to achieve a refined concept rich in those many small details that make it exceptional. Compared to a traditional lens, an ALMATT+® undergoes a process that lasts 12 times longer : the final result is 7 layers of treatments (including oleophobic and hydrophobic, combined with a premium anti-scratch coating) for a perfect lens for every occasion. Are you ready to discover the real WOW effect? ​​Here's a selection of some models made with ALMATT+® technology , available online and at leading opticians! P-RIDE.HCP , one of our most famous and appreciated models; LUXE.65.AMETISTA , among the best examples of the Luxury Sport Eyewear concept; LUXE.65.BLU LINEABIANCA , a new collection for the latest frontier of sports luxury. There's little more to say about our HOCOs: weighing just 27 grams , their minimalist design and unique lens make them the perfect companion for any multisport activity. For those who want to stand out and take their performance to the next level, we've created the LUXE.65 Collection: a concept designed for those who want to add a touch of luxury to their performance, featuring hidden steel flex hinges, a 3D adjustable nose pad in food-grade rubber, prescription lenses via a clip, and hand-finished details. All with guaranteed protection and safety, and backed by the NRC lifetime warranty. Discover the P-RIDE.HOCO Collection! What's new in ALMATT+® After (re)discovering together all the features of our ALMATT+® patent, let's move on to the final stages with an eye... to the future! NRC's work certainly isn't over yet, and there are many projects we plan to continue investing in, especially in the coming years. Technology and progress are on our side, and we have set ourselves two main goals: Sustainability . Each of our glasses features a frame made of at least 65% plant-based materials, with some models even reaching 100%. We want to achieve the highest levels of sustainability, too, by making our entire collection entirely from plant-based materials. (Want to learn more about our commitment to sustainability? Check it out here !) Experimentation . A continuous and constant phase of testing, to create something ever more exceptional: ALMATT+® technology has allowed us to unleash our creativity, without sacrificing the quality of a consistently top-notch product. The best, however, is yet to come... If with our beloved HOCO we created a honeycomb effect on our lenses, and then created something even more surprising with the SUPO line, we certainly have no intention of stopping. On the contrary. ALMATT+® technology gives us the opportunity to try out a wide range of different solutions, all with one great goal: to amaze, always and in any case . The creativity of our designers will be able to bring to light increasingly exclusive lenses, with increasingly refined and one-of-a-kind designs and illustrations. In short, the only limit is your imagination, and at NRC, challenging limits has never been a problem. What does the future hold? Our team is hard at work developing ideas and concepts to once again redefine the entire concept of style in the world of optics . It's not just a matter of aesthetics, but rather designing a new standard for sports eyewear. There's plenty of new developments on the way, so stay tuned! Discover the LUXE.65 Collection!
