Lens Technology

Polarized

Polarized lenses actively reduce harsh glare from reflected surfaces. They feature a unique filter that blocks the horizontal light waves responsible for glare, letting only the useful vertical light pass through. The result is a clearer, more comfortable view, perfect for bright conditions like those found on water, snow, or roadways.

Hydrophobic coating

The lenses are treated with a special coating that works to repel water and disperse moisture. The treatment causes water droplets to bead up, so that they are less likely to stick and more likely to roll off. This ensures consistently clear vision, even in wet conditions.

Oleophobic coating

This treatment creates a surface on the lenses that actively repels oils, especially those from fingerprints. You'll find them much easier to clean, and they'll stay clearer for longer, resisting smudges and keeping your vision optimal.

Photochromic

Photochromic or photochromatic lenses automatically adjust their tint based on the amount of ultraviolet (UV) light they are exposed to. Indoors or in low light conditions, they revert back to clear. Regardless of whether they are clear or dark, they offer maximal protection from harmful UV rays.

Mirror coatings

Mirror coatings on lenses offer great benefits, especially when you're dealing with bright conditions. They significantly reduce glare and boost your vision. Plus, they provide essential UV protection and add a super stylish, reflective touch to your eyewear. 

While flash mirror coatings are more subtle (you can still see your eyes through the lens), mirror coatings give a strong, shiny effect that completely hides your eyes. For even better performance, look for multi-layered mirror coatings. These enhance contrast and clarity, and they often come in awesome, vivid iridescent colours.
