Drivewear Polarized Transition
Glasses
In the past, clear
eyewear was enough. In bright light conditions, polarized sunwear was enough.
This is no longer true. Today our lives are strongly influenced by the
automobile, which has changed the way we experience the outdoors. We need a
third category of lenses in our modern, automobile-centered world. Drivewear.
Drivewear lenses are capable of sensing and reacting to varying light conditions
both outside and behind the windshield of the car. From bright sunlight
accompanied by intense, blinding glare, to overcast inclement conditions,
Drivewear lenses provide the wearer with the appropriate visual solution.
Drivewear lenses provide glare protection through polarization and enhance and
protect vision through photochromics which respond to both visible and UV light.
By combining the strengths of two of the most important technologies in eyewear
today we have developed the lens of tomorrow, Drivewear.

TRANSMISSION
At low lighting conditions,
Drivewear lenses provide high transmission of light to
maximize the total information to all the eye’s visual
receptors. This results in maximum visual acuity at this low
lighting level. The high contrast polarizer removes glare
that would otherwise destroy vision in low light conditions.
In this stage Drivewear lenses are a high contrast
green/yellow color. Simply, there is no better designed lens
for either outdoors or while driving under low light,
overcast conditions. |

In Bright Light/ Driving conditions
(behind the windshield), Drivewear lenses remove glare and

visual accuity
POLARIZED

safe driving vision

TRANSMISSION
During bright light conditions
behind the windshield of a car, Drivewear lenses provides
lower overall transmission to control light intensity for
optimum visual acuity. Drivewear lenses promote preferential
activation of the eye’s red cones (and to a lesser extent,
green cones) and result in the best possible vision at these
higher light levels. Drivewear’s high contrast polarizer is
absolutely essential behind the windshield of the car,
because it blocks out blinding glare, one of the most
dangerous of all driving hazards. Under these conditions,
the Drivewear lenses turn a copper color which many feel is
the optimum color for a driving lens. This unique
behind-the-windshield response protects against bright light
and glare and provides better sensitivity to the “visual
signal” that is vital for safe driving. |

In Very Bright Light/ Outside conditions,
Drivewear lenses remove glare and provide maximum filtration
of excess light for optimum visual comfort and accuity
POLARIZED

TRANSMISSION
In outside bright light conditions,
the eyes’ visual receptors, the rods and cones, can easily
get “overpowered” and “oversaturated” with light. Under
these bright outside conditions the Drivewear lens is
designed for maximum filtration of this excess light. It
achieves its maximum dark color under these conditions. Here
again, it is important to provide maximum protection from
blinding glare, and only polarized lenses can do this.
Drivewear is designed to provide maximum comfort to the
wearer in these high outdoor light conditions.
