Spy Lenses and Frame
LENS CURVATURE
SPHERICAL: Traditional spherical lenses have a consistent vertical and horizontal curve in the lens. If the edge of the les were to continue around back to itself it would from a spherical shape. This is the most commonly used lens profile.
TORIC: A Toric lens has differing horizontal and vertical base curves-meaning that vertically the curvature is different than the horizontal curvature. This shape of the lens allows a unique appearance that is very wearable and give a larger, high wrap frames a modern look and feel.
ARC®: Spy Optic’s ARC® (accurate Radius Curvature) lenses are used in to provide the highest quality and most optically correct, distortion-free vision. ARC® lenses are decentered, eliminating distortion and allowing true clarity. All ARC® lenses are optical class 1 quality.
POLARISATION: Polarised lenses act like slatted window blinds-when light hots a reflective surface it bounces and scatters, reducing contrast and clarity. The “blinds” in our Trident lenses block scattered light rays but let in the “right” light, allowing you to see clearly and fight eye fatigue.
TRIDENT POLARISED LENSES: All of Spy’s polarised sunglasses feature premium injected Trident lenses. Trident lenses diffuse glare through the use of an integrated polarising filter layered within the injected lens, allowing incredible clarity even in the harshest conditions. Trident polarised lenses are of the highest quality available, and effectively eliminate more than 99% of the blinding glare. Spy’s premium Trident polarised lenses will outlast and out perform a typical polarised lens every day of the week (and twice in Sunday!).
