Photochromatic lenses - the perfect eye
protection
Photochromatic lenses feature some of the most advanced technology found in
sunglass lenses today. Photochromy works when there is an increase in light
intensity and the lenses react by darkening, ideally by 20%-30%, or there
is a reduction in light intensity so the lenses lighten resulting in a lens
which reacts to light.
The benefits of photochromatic or react-to-light lenses are
phenomenal. A prime example and benefit of photochromatic lenses is that of
when driving. Light conditions will be constantly changing and there may be
times when your sunglass lenses are too dark or too light. This could be a
result of overhead cloud cover, sudden glare from the road, driving through
a wooded grove. With these constant and rapid changes it is very hard to
take off and put on sunglasses, as well as altering sun visors and mirrors.
If you were wearing photochromatic sunglasses then you would not have had
to take off and then put on your sunglasses. The lenses would have reacted
to the change in light conditions and would keep your eyes well protected
throughout your journey.
A photochromatic lens will only alter in the area subjected to change in
light, therefore if only one part of peripheral vision is subjected to an
increase in light intensity then only that part will change. Every area of
the lens is fully independent from all other areas.
Serengeti offers photochromatic lenses as standard, they have termed the
technology in their lenses as photochromic. The technology in every
pair of Serengeti sunglasses is exceedingly advanced and offers maximum eye
protection whatever the weather. Serengeti have a great collection and
offer sunglasses for men and women as well as sport specific and situation
specific styles.
Serengeti's exclusive photochromic lenses automatically adjust to changing
light conditions. Activated by the amount of ultraviolet light in the
atmosphere, the lenses darken in bright sunlight and lighten in overcast
conditions. And because the technology is engineered into the glass, it can
never wear off or wear out. With Serengeti you're always wearing the right
lens, no matter what the conditions.

Serengeti aviator sunglasses. These aviators are ideal for pilots
and driving. The lenses are gradient and are non-polarised. The
importance of a non-polarised lens for flying is a must as a large
number of cockpit windscreens are already polarised and two polarised
lenses should not be combined. The lighter lens at the bottom means
the controls can be seen. |
