Rip Curl Lenses and Frame

LENSTECHNOLOGY
Rip Curl has partnered with Carl Zeiss Vision (CZV) Sunlens, a world leader in premium, innovative & HIGH performance sunglass lenses. POLARISATION: Polarised light mostly travels in two dimensions, horizontally and vertically.  Vertical light brings useful information to your eyes, such as colour and contrast. While horizontal light creates optical glare. When sunlight hits smooth surfaces such as water, snow, road or glass, it mainly reflects in a horizontal plane. The polarised lens cuts out this glare, making seeing a breeze. “Polarise your search.” Some benefits of Rip Curl's Polarised Eyewear that they cut out reflective glare, improve depth perception, sharpens colour contrast and reduces eye fatigue.

LENS MATERIALS: Rip Curl/CZV lenses are either Polycarbonate or CR39 Hard Resin, available in Polarised and Standard non-polarised lenses. All Rip Curl/CZV lenses have superior optical quality, are high performance, impact resistant, lightweight, durable and scratch resistant. Polycarbonate injected polarised lenses, means the lenses are ‘one piece’ and guarantees the best optical quality and prevents delaminating. As well as being polarised Rip Curls lenses block 100% of harmful UV rays.
QUALITY CONTROL: Carl Zeiss Vision has spectacular Sun lens quality control. In fact, CZV personnel inspect every single lens; ensuring the highest quality standards are met.
LENS TINTS AND COATINGS: Rip Curl/CZV offer a variety of lens tints and coatings enhancing the quality, performance and value of the sunglass. Coatings are applied to enhance scratch resistance, reduce AR glare and to create a fashionable unique look.
