The Best Lens for Driving
Adapts to changing light conditions, overcast, daylight, or bright sun.
Overcast
Low Light Conditions
Designed to maximize useful light information reaching the eye and to remove glare that would otherwise destroy vision in low light conditions.
Bright Light
Behind the Windshield of a Car
Designed to both remove excess light and provide good traffic signal recognition; highlighting the reds and greens. To remove glare for safe driving vision.
Outdoors
Intense Light Conditions
Designed for maximum filtration of excess light so that the eye does not get saturated and to provide maximum comfort in high light conditions.
Drivewear lenses feature a high efficiency polarizer never before found in such a high contrast, light color. This color was chosen and designed to maximize useful light reaching the eye in low light/ overcast conditions. This polarized film is active in every lighting condition to block blinding glare and improve visual acuity.
One of the most unique and special attributes of Drivewear is that it is the only photochromic lens to darken behind the windshield of a car. Exposed to visible light, the lens changes to a copper color, which many drivers find is the most comfortable color for driving. This is not surprising, as this Drivewear color was designed to both remove excess light and provide good traffic signal recognition.
Outdoors, Drivewear is activated by UV and visible light and deepens to a dark reddish-brown color. This color was designed for maximum filtration of excess light and to provide maximum protection from bright light and blinding glare. The brown color of the lens provides excellent color recognition with a special emphasis on highlighting greens. Because green is the most common color in the natural landscape, it's a great visual experience to have these enhanced.
