SnowVision makes custom prescription ski and snowboard goggles that embed the wearer’s optical correction directly into the goggle’s interior lens, eliminating the need for separate glasses or inserts. Its patented double‑lens construction creates an air‑filled barrier that prevents fog, while the photochromic, crash‑resistant outer shell adapts to changing light and protects against impacts. The goggles are made to order for unifocal, bifocal or progressive lenses across a –9 to +9 diopter range, providing a stable, sharp view for skiers and snowboarders who need vision correction.

Problem
People who wear prescription glasses face difficulty on ski slopes because standard goggles either require separate inserts, fog up, or do not accommodate a wide range of prescriptions, limiting visibility and safety.
Solution
SnowVision manufactures custom prescription ski and snowboard goggles that integrate the user’s optical correction directly into the goggle’s interior lens. A patented double‑lens construction creates an air‑filled isolation layer that prevents fog formation, while the outer lens is made from crash‑resistant NXT material and is photochromic to adapt to changing light conditions. The system supports unifocal, bifocal, and progressive lenses across a diopter range of –9 to +9, covering virtually all prescription needs, including astigmatism correction. Each goggle is made to order, ensuring precise alignment of the prescription optics with the wearer’s eye position for a stable, sharp view without the need for separate glasses or inserts.
Target Audience
Primary customers are skiers and snowboarders who require vision correction, including recreational athletes, ski schools, and mountain resorts that provide equipment for guests with glasses.
