Sun Lenses for Sport

Essilor, the largest supplier of lenses in the world, have a range of sun lenses designed specially for different sports. You can download/view a PDF by clicking here.

These lenses are tailored for different sports - for example, the best lens tint for sailing might be different for shooting. All of the lenses block out at least 90% of harmful blue light and comply with European standards for seeing road signs, without altering the colour perception of the wearer and reducing glare.

Anyone involved in sports, or just those wanting the best tint for their own particular needs should consider Essilor SPORTS SOL-utions.

Polarising Lenses

Do you want your sunglasses with glare or without?

Almost all sunglasses are designed to reduce the amount of light that enters the eye. Polarising lenses do that, plus they also cut out reflected light. This makes vision far more comfortable in situations where there is a lot of reflected light.

Sunglasses - photochromic lenses

Photochromic lenses, also known as Transitions or Reactolite (or sometimes just Reactions) are lenses that have the abililty to change their depth of tint depending on the ambient lighting. Light when its dark, dark when its light !

Sunglasses in general

Sunglasses is quite a big topic. Photochromic or fixed tint, polarising lenses, graduated tints, optical quality lenses. I'll try and explain a few of these terms for you and give advice for what kind of lenses might be best.
