Sunglasses are often considered a fashion accessory but their lenses play a critical role in how effective your sunglasses are.

From protecting your eyes from harmful radiation to enhancing visual clarity and comfort, FLYTE lenses significantly improve your experience in various lighting conditions. We place a huge amount of emphasis on our lenses as they directly influence the overall effectiveness and enjoyment of wearing sunglasses.

Sunglasses lenses with UVA and UVB light filtering

100% UVA/UVB PROTECTION

FLYTE sunglass lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB protection which is crucial for maintaining long-term eye health. The sun's ultraviolet radiation, while invisible to the naked eye, can have detrimental effects on your vision over time. UVA rays, which penetrate deeper into the eye, have been linked to the development of cataracts – a clouding of the lens that can significantly impair vision. UVB rays, on the other hand, primarily affect the surface of the eye and have been associated with macular degeneration – a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. By choosing FLYTE sunglasses with lenses that offer full UVA and UVB protection, you can shield your eyes from these harmful rays and reduce the risk of developing these conditions.

READY FOR ANY ENVIRONMENT

The choice between polarised and non-polarised sunglasses depends on your specific needs. While polarised lenses excel at reducing glare, non-polarised lenses are often preferred for activities that require clear vision of digital screens or terrain variations. Pilots, for example, may opt for non-polarised lenses as they may interfere with the visibility of certain cockpit instruments. On the other hand, polarised lenses excel at reducing glare from horizontal surfaces like water, snow, or roads, making them ideal for activities such as fishing, boating, driving, or spending time at the beach. The specialised filter in polarised lenses blocks out intense reflected light, enhancing visual clarity and reducing eye fatigue.

EYE COMFORT

Eye comfort is paramount when choosing sunglasses for extended wear. FLYTE sunglasses incorporate a proprietary lens coating designed to minimise glare and reduce eye strain. This advanced coating selectively filters out harsh, reflected light while allowing beneficial light to pass through, ensuring optimal visual clarity and comfort. By mitigating the effects of glare, which can cause squinting and eye fatigue, this coating enhances visual comfort and enables you to enjoy your surroundings without discomfort, even in bright sunlight. Experience the difference of sunglasses that prioritise not only protection but also lasting comfort for your eyes.
