Sunglass lenses are essentials to protect your eyes from harmful lights. Discover features of those lenses to see if they can be right for your style and your lifestyle.
Tinted, polarized or photochromic sun lenses protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. Our trustworthy experts will recommend the best pair of sunglasses for your needs.
Sunglass lenses are key to protecting your eyes from harmful UV rays that can cause serious damage, such as damage to the retina, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), or cataracts.
All sunglass lenses purchased at Opto-Réseau are UV 400 certified and therefore block 100% of UVA and UVB rays.
Polarized sunglass lenses, such as Essilor Xperio lenses, offer UV protection and reduce glare from horizontal surfaces, protecting you from annoying reflections. Lenses with polarizing filters therefore provide greater comfort, clearer vision, well-defined contrast, and richer colours.
Fishing enthusiasts
Allow you to see beyond the surface of the water.
Winter sports enthusiasts
Greatly reduce glare from snow and ice.
Motorists
Limit glare related to reflections of light on the road and dashboard.
In addition to the UV protection level of the lenses and the polarizing filters, the frames selected will make a big difference for optimal sun protection. You should therefore choose frames with large lenses and wide temples that cover the entire eye and surrounding area.
Today ophthalmic lenses can be clear, but also tinted in a variety of colours. Not only do they offer a variety of looks, each tint has a particular use for your vision quality and activities.
Grey
Only tint that does not alter colour perception.
Ideal for general use, appreciated by people who are sensitive to light.
Green
Enhances green tones.
Properties almost identical to those of grey lenses, but with a completely different look.
Brown
Enhances contrast.
Ideal for driving, water sports, climbing, downhill skiing, and hiking.
Light Brown
Recommended for golf or tennis.
Yellow and orange
Ideal for dark, foggy, or cloudy weather.
Excellent for fishing, skiing, and target sports such as hunting.
Photochromic lenses are clear lenses adapted to your vision that darken when exposed to sunlight so you can always see comfortably.
Although people love them for their style, mirror-coated lenses are also very practical because they reflect light from the lens surface. A mirror coating provides extra protection and can therefore reduce eye discomfort and fatigue caused by glare, which is particularly beneficial in situations where light is reflected by snow, water, or sand.
It comes in different colours for prescription glasses such as sunglasses. If you’re sensitive to light, this coating will provide you with superior comfort.
To benefit from a quick, personalized service, we recommend you purchase your glasses and lenses in the same clinic where you had your eye exam. If you want to explore our selection of frames before you visit your clinic, check out our online catalogue.
