Produced in the same process normally reserved for ophthalmic-quality corrective lenses, they provide the incredible visual acuity.

They are also chemically tempered to ensure scratch and impact resistance. To complete this unrivalled visual experience, an anti-reflective coating is added to the backside of the lens, cancelling the scattering light that causes reflective glare.
