Lens Technology
The Ultimate in Vision Protection and Performance
There Simply isn’t another lens like it
Mela-Lens™ represent a transition from lenses that filter UV- to lenses that eliminate UV and reduce HEV (the high energy visible) light, resulting in complete eye protection from sunlight damage.
Mela-Lens™ technology successfully transcends common sunglass lenses by not only eliminating UV, but also significantly reduces high-energy visible (HEV)(violet and blue light) without color perception disruption.
Prevention
Damage to the human eye occurs with exposure and absorption of unfiltered sun light. The risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and the formation of cataracts represent the most common forms of damage; both of which can be prevented with Mela-Lens™ technology.
Protection
The eye needs protection of its lens from UltraViolet light to decrease the risks of cataracts. While the lens of the eye protects from UV, it does not filter high energy visible (HEV) light, which contributes to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Damage to the macula, in the central region of the retina, impacts the ability to see detail. It is the high energy visible (HEV) light – corresponding to the blue and violet portion of the sunlight spectrum – that poses the greatest risk to the retina from sunlight, and Mela-Lens technology is highly effective in filtering out HEV Light.
Performance
The Mela-Lens™ technology effects vision performance. By filtering HEV light, internal reflections of light – or veiled glare - in the eye are reduced.
Perception
The Mela-Lens™ breakthrough facilitates HEV light filtration without disturbing color perception. With minimized color shift, color balance is maintained and contrast is enhanced resulting in sharpened visual acuity.
Mela-Lens™ represents a milestone in the filtration of light. The benefits of Mela-Lens technology include:
- Blocks HEV & UV light for maximum protection in the sun
- Reduces glare and veiled glare, resulting in lessened eye strain
- Improved comfort for light sensitivity
- Minimized color shift with better contrast
- Maintains color balance for sharpened visual acuity
The only sunglass for maximum outdoor protection and performance.
Polarized Mela-Lens™ technology for the finest combination of protection and performance.
Mela-Lens Polarized sunglasses represents the ultimate combination of vision protection with traditional glare reduction - associated with polarizing lenses to lessen reflected light from surfaces - and the filtration of HEV light without distorting colors. A favorite for driving and water sport applications.
