INTRODUCTION TO VUARNET LENSES

 

The sunglass market offers a broad choice in eyewear but very few brands offer you lenses adapted to your needs.

Nowadays, our lifestyle has evolved and we perform many activities in various environments: at the seaside, on the mountain and of course, in the city.

Vuarnet lenses are tinted and treated to fit every universe thus providing you with custom-made comfort, whatever your activity is.

The following information will help you choose the right lens.

FUNDAMENTALS

Every Vuarnet mineral lens is

  • - solid-tinted
  • - made secure in order to be even more shock and scratch resistant
  • - their interior side features an antiglare treatment in order to provide enhanced visual comfort
  • - they are design to absorb 100% of the UV rays and 98% of infra-red rays
  • - a V is engraved on each lens, symbol of authenticity and quality
THE TINT OF THE LENS: The nature of your activity will determine the tint you will need. Vuarnet offers 3 ranges of tinted lenses.
 
 

BROWN BASE

It enhances contrasts, provides a deep field of vision and enhances luminosity, which enables you to make out obstacles and enables you to see more accurately where you are going when doing sports, for instance.

 

 

GREY BASE

Grey renders colors to perfection. This is the neutral color by excellence. This is the color used by photographers. The grey base is ideal for the city environment: it does not alter the color of lit-up road signs such as traffic lights for example.

Grey lenses can receive a bi-shaded two-tone-colored treatment (as it is the case for citylinx).

 

 

YELLOW-GREEN BASE

Similar to the brown base but with more intensity the yellow-green base enhances contrasts, increases the perception of reliefs, offers a deep field of vision and increases luminosity.

Yellow-green lenses may be bi-shaded (skilynx) and graduated/hydrophobic (nautilynx).
