Smith Optics® : Technology

Glare off of reflective surfaces decreases depth perception, reduces visual acuity, and causes eye fatigue. Smith Optics Polarized eyewear uses the highest quality polarized film in the world to filter out 99.9% of this visual static for maximum glare-free comfort. Exactingly pre-shaped in the manufacturing process and precisely aligned in the lenses, Smith polarized film is precisely aligned and pre-shaped in the manufacturing process so that it perfectly matches the curvature of our lenses when installed. Each Smith Optics Polarized lens is in fact two thin wafers of either Techlite glass or Carbonic lens material between which this high-grade polarized film is fitted, protecting it from the elements and ensuring distortion free polarization.

Smith Optics Polarchromic lens technology combines the benefits of glare obliterating polarization with the advantage of photochromic light sensitivity. Available in either Carbonic or Techlite glass, Smith Optics Polarchromic lenses automatically self-adjust their tint in response to ambient UV light conditions creating a tint level which is perfect at all hours of the day. These lenses retain their photochromic properties indefinitely, certainly outliving the life of the frame itself. Spanning a range of approximately 10%-35% VLT (Visible Light Transmission) Polarchromic lenses need only 10-25 seconds to fully transform from light to dark depending on UV light intensity. The result is a lens tint which is perfect at every moment of the day from dawn to dusk particularly at hours when the benefits of polarized are vital but the lens tint has to be light enough to see.

Whether it be personal choice or true specialization, we are certain you will find one of our custom engineered lens tints to meet your style or performance needs. All lenses provide 100% UVA/B/C protection and TLT Optics. Choose your weapon wisely and enjoy the view.
