Lens Optical Quality

Test the optical quality of the lens by viewing a vertical edge or line, to do this follow these instructions:

• Move your head back and forth allowing your eyes to sweep across the lens.
• If there is any wiggle in the line, the lens may have an optical defect and you should choose another pair

Sunglasses are not intended for use as protection against artificial light sources, such as sun lamps, lasers, etc.

Polarized Lens

• Block glare that bounces off long flat surfaces i.e. road, water, snow
• Minimize distortion and optimize your vision under changing light conditions

Polycarbonate Lens

• Impact resistant lens that flexes rather than breaks
• Lightweight, scratch resistant technology

Lens Colours

• Choose a lens shade with a relationship to use.
• Cosmetic or light to medium tints can be worn indoors or outdoors, but while on the beach or skiing, darker shades should be worn.
• The amount of light a lens should transmit relates to the brightness of the environment and individual comfort.

Amber and Brown
• These colors offer gentle eye adjustment and provide extreme comfort in high contrast light conditions
• Amber lenses are often referred to as "driving lenses"

Smoke and Green

• These lenses provide excellent sun protection in bright conditions

Yellow and Orange

• Used to enhance depth perception through increased contrast in cloudy or hazy conditions

Blue and Purple

• These lenses are gentle on the eye providing a calming effect
