LENSES

3-IN-1 lenses

Anti-blue light. 100% anti-UVA and UVB. Better contrasts. Vibrant colors.

We live in an environment overexposed to artificial lights and the sun’s harmful rays. These conditions lead to eye strain and accelerate aging of the retina and lens.

3-IN-1 lenses provide effective protection thanks to their triple-action filter:

  • indoors, they protect your eyes from the blue light of screens, wavelength 420nm.

  • outdoors, they protect your eyes 100% from UVA and UVB rays, i.e. the same effectiveness as polarized sun lenses, while retaining exceptional transparency.

  • it increases red, green and blue contrast for purer, more comfortable color vision.

GAMING LENSES

Anti-blue light. Better contrasts. Suitable for long gaming sessions.

Manufactured on a nylon base, GAMING lenses benefit from all the advantages of this material in terms of visual clarity, shock resistance and scratch resistance. Combined with a yellow tint, they filter out 100% of the ultraviolet spectrum.

By blocking blue light from screens, GAMING lenses improve visual comfort during long gaming sessions. The yellow tint enhances the contrast of color and relief. It improves image perception in low-light scenes, enabling gamers to be more responsive.

POLARIZED SOLAR LENSES

Better contrast, less glare, more vivid colors.

Polarized lenses significantly improve visual clarity and offer 100% protection against UV rays. They filter light without distor- ting your vision, and offer better contrast while reducing glare and unwanted reflections, such as those from reflective surfaces like water, snow or glass.

Polarized lenses give you excellent contrast perception. They improve perception of shapes and colors, and enable better appreciation of the horizon and distances. They provide immediate visual comfort, far superior to any other existing technology.
