b-The prisms have to be placed in front of the eyes or higher.
The clip can be moved up and down until a perfect fit is
guaranteed.
c- Thanks to the flip-up mechanism two positions are possible
- Position « On » : the prisms are in front of the eyes or higher
- Position « Off » : the prisms are in front of the forehead, a
normal view is possible

- A view of the climber
- A peripheral vision which allows the belayer to keep an eye
on the surroundings (rope and belay device) and to control his
movements.
4. SAFETY NOTICE
a- Through the prisms, the perception of distance may seem
shorter than reality. That might slightly influence the balance.
Gradually finding points of reference in the space will help you
adapt more quickly to the use of the glasses.
b- First, the belayer should place the glasses into the
« Off » position and then flip them down in front of his eyes
(« On » position), as soon as the climber reaches the second
anchor (about 3 meters). Please always keep one hand on the
rope.
c- First uses may strain the eyes depending on each user’s view.
But this will quickly disappear.
d- The Y&Y belay glasses bring comfort and safety, but they
cannot replace the natural eye view. In case of any doubts
while belaying, you should check your climber without glasses.
In areas where there is a risk of rockfall, it is not recommended
to use the belay glasses.
e- Beware of the position of the sun. Do not look at it directly.
