Keeping an eye on the real

When opinions and supposed ideals of beauty bombard you like light and rain on glasses, you quickly lose sight of what is real in the world. Inner strength helps you not to be put off. Just as our material options help you to keep a clear view in every situation.

EYE SAFETY MATERIAL (ESM)

DO NOT CLOSE YOUR EYES.
PROTECT THEM.

The word "Eyecare" is in our name for a reason. Our lenses are not just there to open your eyes to the real and true in the world. They also fulfill another function: protection. Especially when your eyes are exposed to seemingly harmless sunlight, this can have a negative effect on your eyesight. The blue-violet wavelengths contained in natural light are potentially harmful due to their intensity.

That's why we optionally equip our lenses with ESM: Eye Safety Material. Using a polymer integrated into the lens material, ESM filters out up to 100% of potentially harmful blue light. Our UV filter for the lens, on the other hand, lets 90% of blue-turquoise light through.

ADVANTAGES

  • Protects your eyes from high-energy blue light
  • No side effects such as blue residual reflections that would be caused by a comparable coating

TRANSITIONS® GEN S™

LET THE WORLD
DO NOT BLIND.

The TRANSITIONS® GEN S™ lens is the latest generation of TRANSITIONS® GEN S™. This lens is designed to quickly darken when exposed to sunlight. This gives it a decisive advantage over classic clear lenses. The TRANSITIONS® GEN S™ lenses constantly adapt to changing light conditions - their tint is therefore perfect in every situation.

ADVANTAGES

  • Extremely fast activation of the tint and re-lightening
  • Complete clarity indoors and at night
  • 100% of UVA and UVB rays are blocked
  • Lenses with UV filters block at least 20% of harmful blue light indoors and over 87% of harmful blue light outdoors
  • Technology available for all frames and prescriptions

TRANSITIONS® XTRACTIVE® NEW GENERATION

CLEAR VISION WHILE DRIVING
KEEP

TRANSITIONS® technology is also available in a version for driving. Most windshields filter out UV rays, which makes darkening the lenses almost impossible. The TRANSITIONS® XTRACTIVE® NEW GENERATION lenses, which are much darker on the outside, also tint behind a windshield and offer a discreet intensity on the inside.

ADVANTAGES

  • Become extra dark and are the darkest self-tinting lenses at high temperatures
  • Block at least 34% of harmful blue light indoors and over 90% of harmful blue light outdoors
  • Are the darkest self-tinting lenses for driving glasses
  • Block 100% of UVA and UVB radiation
  • Are clear indoors and at night or at low light intensity

POLARIZATION

Keep your eyes open even in bright light.

In situations with extreme brightness (at the sea, in the mountains, when driving), polarized glass provides additional protection against glare and reflections without affecting the images.

Polarized lenses have a filter that minimizes all reflections caused by reflective surfaces such as water, snow or the road. Extremely small crystals ensure that only vertical light penetrates to the eyes and horizontal light is absorbed. Thanks to the optimized perception, visual acuity improves.

ADVANTAGES

  • Natural vision (related to color)
  • Different intensities offer the right glare protection for every need
  • UV protection 400 nm
  • Significantly reduced glare
