Polarized Lenses: Polarized lenses have the benefit of filtering
out reflected light and glare off water, pavement and snow. This lens
works great for fishing, boating, driving or any other glare intensive
activity. Polarized lenses are the best way to eliminate both glare and
UV light. Polarization is achieved by shutting out 100% of undesirable
light and allowing 100% of desired light through the lenses.
Heavy Mirror Coating: • Reflects sunlight for ultra-low transmission of rays.
• Excellent for long exposure to intense sunlight.
• Popular for performing extreme sports such as
mountain climbing, skiing, and windsurfing.
Mirror Coating: A special treatment is applied to the front
surface of the lens through a vacuum process that gives the lens a
shiny, mirror-like look.
Mirror coating reflects the harsh light rays that are emitted from
surfaces such as water, snow and ice. • A transparent mirror that respects the original tint color of the lens.
• For a subtle, high-fashion look.
• Adds a hint of mystery.
• Can be made with dark tints or light tints depending on intended activities.
Anti-Reflective Coating: This coating is on the back of the lens
for even better clarity and reduced back glare. It is used so that
light that comes in through the back of the lens is not reflected back
into the eye. • Reduce unwanted reflection coming from behind.
• Back-side and side rays disturb our vision by penetrating the eye directly since they do not pass through the sunglass lens.
• All sunglass lenses can get a boost of performance by adding backside AR coating.
Rx FAQ
|
Q: |
Do I have to get my eye doctor's actual signature in order
for you to process my prescription?
|
|
A: |
Yes. We need either our Rx form with your doctor's signature or
a copy of your prescription from your doctor with the signature.
By law, this is required. |
|
Q: |
What is the difference between "Gray" and "Brown" lenses? |
|
A: |
When you hold the lenses up to the light, gray lenses will look
gray and brown lenses will look brown. Gray lenses can also be
known as "smoked" lenses. And brown lenses can also be called
"amber". Usually frames that are black have gray (or smoke)
lenses and brown frames have brown (or amber) lenses.

|
Q: |
What are "photochromic / transition lenses"?
|
|
A: |
Photochromic lenses are light-responsive. Light-responsive
lenses darken automatically when exposed to ultraviolet light,
specifically sunlight, and lighten with reduced exposure to
sunlight. Photochromic lenses change from light to dark
depending on the amount of ultraviolet light they are exposed
to. |
Q: |
What are "DriveWear Transitional lenses"?
|
|
A: |
DriveWear transitional lenses: are the first and only photochromic lenses to darken behind the windshield of a vehicle, with the ability to react to visible light as well as UV light.
By combining polarization with new photochromic technology, DriveWear lenses are capable of sensing and reacting to varying light conditions both outside and behind the windshield of the car. From bright sunlight accompanied by intense, blinding glare, to overcast inclement conditions, DriveWear lenses provide the wearer with the appropriate visual solution.
Note: Drivewear transitional lenses are not recommended for night driving as they do not change completely clear.

After placing your order, your Rx eyewear will be shipped to you in
approx. 7-10 working days. All lenses quoted
are premium quality polycarbonate which are impact resistant. With
polycarbonate lenses (PC),
you will get 100% blockage of harmful UVA and UVB rays. Polycarbonate
lenses are made from the lightest and most impact-resistant material
made. Plastic lenses (CR-39) are available on request at a lower cost,
however they do not offer
the shatter resistance that PC lenses do. They do not offer the safety
of a polycarbonate lens
and should not be worn in any activity which may result in impact. Keep
this in mind when comparing Rx prices from companies. Many
companies advertise their CR-39 plastic lens prices to get your
attention. The prices quoted on our Rx order form
are for polycarbonate lenses.
