Lenses
Triacetate Cellulose (TAC) lenses, are made up of six unique layers that each contribute specific benefits to the overall performance of the lens. Here's an explanation of each layer and its benefits:
1. Polarization Layer (Center)
- Function: This central layer is responsible for reducing glare by filtering out intense reflected light from surfaces like water, roads, and snow.
- Benefit: Offers clearer, more comfortable vision, especially in bright conditions. It helps reduce eye strain and improves visual clarity.
2. UV400 Protection Layer
- Function: Blocks harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, specifically UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nanometers.
- Benefit: Protects your eyes from UV damage, which can cause cataracts, macular degeneration, and other eye problems over time.
3. Scratch-Resistant Layer
- Function: Provides a hard coating that makes the lenses more resistant to scratches and wear.
- Benefit: Prolongs the life of the sunglasses by maintaining the clarity of the lenses and reducing damage from daily use.
4. Anti-Reflective Layer
- Function: Minimizes reflections on the lens surface, especially from the backside, which can cause distractions or ghost images.
- Benefit: Enhances visual comfort by reducing internal reflections and improving contrast and clarity.
5. Impact-Resistant Layer
- Function: Adds toughness to the lens, making it resistant to impacts or breaking.
- Benefit: Increases durability and safety, especially in active or outdoor environments where lenses are more likely to get knocked or dropped.
6. Hydrophobic & Oleophobic Layer
- Function: Repels water, oil, and dust from the lens surface.
- Benefit: Keeps the lenses clean, clear, and easy to maintain, even in harsh environments or during sweaty activities.
These layers work together to provide optimal clarity, protection, and durability for your sunglasses, making them ideal for outdoor activities and long-lasting wear.
