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.
