While others speak of safety, wanderlust or product as art, our nearly 50 years of experience has helped us perfect what really matters—amplifying the thrill of the human experience.
Everything we do and every pillar in our character delivers on this simple idea.
By blocking specific color wave intersections as they pass through the lens, ChromaPop™ is able to eliminate color confusion, so your brain is recognizing truer color, faster. ChromaPop™ optimizes color and increases
clarity, enabling you to see the outside world with an unparalleled level of vibrancy.

Individual BLUE, GREEN, and RED wavelengthsare easily recognized by the eye
Through our proprietary ChromaPop™ lens technology, we can eliminate the confusion by filtering light at those specific areas. We create greater definition and distinguish colors quickly and
more vividly.
Where light waves intersect color confusion is created. The eye has trouble making sense of color and definition
at these wavelength measurements.
By specifically filtering light that reaches the eye, colorconfusion is decreased. Color becomes more vivid and
saturated. Along with color saturation, clarity anddefinition are improved.
Where color wavelengths crossover, the eye has trouble distinguishing color.

the experience of ChromaPop™Utilizing a proprietary combination of new technologies, we have created the new “super” lens of the future. Specifically designed to enhance
colors and provide superior optical clarity, our line of ChromaPop™ lenses are the gold standard in world-class optics.
ChromaPop™ has an Abbe value of 45, making it optically superior. The higher the Abbe value, the more accurately a lens aligns the spectrum of light waves that pass through it. Lens materials with lower Abbe values are unable to focus these light waves accurately, resulting in “chromatic
aberration,” a vision defect that appears as distracting fringes of color around dark type and objects.

ChromaPop™ lenses employ a unique combination of patented color management and polarization techniques. The result is a lens that delivers dynamic color, exceptional clarity and high contrast.
This advanced material can accept the sophisticated dyes and tints needed to create our proprietary visual experience. Meaning ChromaPop™ delivers high contrast, select color filtering and color enhancement better than other lens materials commonly used in sunglass and prescription sunglass lenses. Known throughout the industry for ophthalmic grade optics and superior performance, Trivex® is the material that powers the ChromaPop™ lenses.
This gives ChromaPop™ lenses a visual acuity approaching glass, with benefits that surpass other materials.
The patented Film-Free polarization coating is bonded to the lens surface
without adhesives. This process eliminates the potential for cracking, crazing and
delamination associated with other polarized lenses. ChromaPop™ polarized lenses provide edge to edge clear viewing
with 99.8% polarization efficiency and 100% UV protection.
Film-Free Polarization
Delivers a super slippery, smooth, easy to clean surface that repels water and debris.
Highly scratch resistant, hydrophobic (water repellent), super slippery, debris
resistant and anti-static.
Hydroleophobic Front and Backside Coatings
Ophthalmic grade backside Anti-Reflective (A/R) coating for improved vision and prevention of bounce back glare and
internal reflections.
