Glasses with polycarbonate lenses, soft nose pads and soft temples.
The ultraviolet filters in UVEX glasses provide 100% protection for the iris against harmful UV rays up to 400 nm. This is also reflected in the company name: UV-EX means “UltraViolet EXcluded”.
Glasses are comfortable when you do not notice them while wearing them. They provide comfort without pressure.
All UVEX glasses models are thoroughly tested in a laboratory using special tests. These assess quality, functionality and safety, and the results are later used to improve the glasses.
UVEX glasses are tested according to the EN ISO 12312-1:2013 standard. In the test, a 6 mm steel ball weighing 0.86 g is fired at the lenses at a speed of 45 m/s (162 km/h). The glasses provide protection against mechanical damage.
The lenses are made of durable polycarbonate, which retains its strength down to −40 °C. A special coating protects the lenses from damage and scratches while maintaining optical properties in accordance with the EN ISO 12312-1 standard. This protection does not apply to lenses with a full mirror coating (mirror).
