Clarity

Experience superior visual performance with our Optical Class 1 lenses.

Hydrophobic & Oleophobic Coating

Our cutting-edge hydrophobic coating actively repels water droplets and salt residue. This means water beads up and effortlessly rolls off the lens surface, preventing streaks and smears that can obscure your vision. Complementing our hydrophobic technology, an advanced oleophobic coating actively repels oily substances like fingerprints, sun cream, and natural skin oils. This innovative layer ensures your lenses remain free from smudges and smears, providing you with uninterrupted, crystal-clear vision.

Bi-focal Lenses

These lenses seamlessly integrate two distinct viewing areas: a primary zone for broad, distant views of the horizon or open water, and a lower segment for precise, near vision. This allows you to effortlessly switch focus from navigating far-off buoys to reading charts or adjusting intricate gear, all without needing to swap between multiple pairs of glasses. It’s the ultimate convenience for keeping everything in sharp focus on deck.
