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.
OVERCAST

BRIGHT LIGHT OUTDOORS

In Low Light/ Overcast
conditions, Drivewear lenses remove glare and maximize useful light
information reaching the eye for optimum visual accuity
POLARIZED
to remove glare that would otherwise
destroy vision in low light conditions

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. |

COLOR
designed to both remove excess light
and provide good traffic signal recognition; highlighting the reds and
greens

In Bright Light/ Driving conditions (behind the
windshield), Drivewear lenses remove glare and control the intensity of
light reaching the eye for optimum visual accuity
POLARIZED
to remove glare for 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. |
COLOR
designed for maximum filtration of
excess light so that the eye does not get saturated
|
In Very Bright Light/ Outside conditions, Drivewear
lenses remove glare and provide maximum filtration of excess light for
optimum visual comfort and accuity
POLARIZED
to provide maximum comfort in high
light conditions
|
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.
