  • LENSES MATERIALS

  1. Polycarbonate lenses have superior impact resistance and are lighter than regular plastic lenses. Our eyeglass lenses are 20% thinner and 30% lighter than standard plastic lenses, yet super tough and very hard to break.

  3. Polarization—a special filter that blocks intense reflected light, polarized lenses eliminate blinding glare so you can see the outside world with sharper color and greater depth.
