Kaenon Sunglasses Go To The Movies!

The movie "Monte Carlo" has been out about a year and it stars Kaenon Sunglasses! Well, not really, but the actresses starring in the movie wear some of the coolest Kaenon fashions you've ever seen.

The movie stars are Selena Gomez and Katie Cassidy. Selena wears the Kaenon DELITE as she plays a wealthy, fashion conscious heiress. Co-star Katie is seen romping on Monte Carlo's beaches in the Kaenon GEORGIA.

The Kaenon high-fashion sunwear has the same super high-quality optics with polarization and anti-glare in every pair. Come visit our optical and take a look at them in person in our flagship office in Westlake, Ohio, just across the street from Crocker Park!

What are polarized sunglasses?

What exactly is polarization? Are all sunglasses polarized? Should they be?


Let's talk a little bit about what polarization is first. When light comes out of a single source, or point source, the light rays come out in an infinite number of directions. Kind of like the light coming from a star or street light. Polarized light is light that is traveling in only one direction or plane.

There are lots of times when polarized light is created naturally. Think of sunlight bouncing off of a snow-covered field or the surface of a pond. There are also lots of times when reflected light is NOT polarized, like the reflection off the chrome bumper of that car that was in front of you this morning on the highway! We can use polarized lenses in our sunglasses to choose exactly which type of light we see.

We can minimize glare while driving by wearing polarized sunglasses. Most reflected light is parallel to the ground; polarized sunglasses will block out these rays, allowing vertical rays to come through the lenses. The same thing is true on the water. When you are boating or fishing you can reduce glare by wearing polarized sunglasses.

Not all sunglasses are polarized. In fact, there times when you DON'T want to have your sunglasses polarized. On the golf course polarization will make everything seem flat. Imagine how hard it would be to putt if you couldn't see the break on the greens!

Kaenon Sunglasses For Road Biking

The weather in Cleveland has been magnificent recently! Bikers are out on their road bikes all over town. While we love to see them all wearing helmets, it's also necessary to protect your eyes from harmful ultraviolet rays. One of the sunglass lines we carry at Skyvision is KAENON. Here's what one pro bike racer, Ryan Sabga, had to say about his Kaenon's in Eyewear Business magazine. This professional road and track cyclist is the current National Road Race Champion. A member of Black Dog Professional Cycling, he is a National Team member plus a Six Day and World Cup racer on the track. Since returning to the sport of cycling after a five-year hiatus due to a shattered pelvis, he has earned four medals, all silver or gold, in U.S. and Trinidad and Tobago national championship competition.


EB: Why is superior optical performance critical to your sport?

SABGA: Wind and light can be major distractions when you are trying to focus on giving your maximum effort. This is especially important if you wear contact lenses, as I do. Not only do the right sunglasses help keep your lenses from drying out, but the correct tint and colors on the lenses help keep you relaxed. There is nothing worse than having to squint and wipe your eyes when you're navigating through a pack of riders at 55 kph.

EB: Which sports sunwear style are you wearing the most right now?

SABGA: Currently, I am using mostly Rudy Project's Zyon and Rydon II models. Specifically, I use the Multilaser orange lenses for the day and a variety of lenses for indoor and night races (usually racing red, a dark gray, or purple lens for night).

EB: What are the key features that enhance your performance?

SABGA: First, the frames I use fit better than any other frames I've tried. This is partly due to the custom fit of the nose and ear pieces, but the ability to see clearly out of the lenses in a variety of positions on the bike is unsurpassed. Second, the lens clarity is great and the lens shapes provide excellent coverage.

EB: Which lenses work best for you?

SABGA: In day races, I really like the Multilaser orange lenses. The contrasts of the terrain become more visible and you don't have to worry about squinting. For night and evening races on the track, I like something that doesn't obscure colors. This is especially important because in the Six Day races, every team wears a different color jersey and some colors are close. It's important to see the difference as the races can be chaotic at times.
