for infomation on this fantastic lens - great for curved lenses and we treat these in our own special way to improve unwanted reflections.
THE G15 - It specifies the color of the lens and transmission ( 15 refers to a dark tint in this case ) .
The B15 is a brown lens and the G15 is a grey/green lens. Both lenses allow 15% light through the lens. It also blocks the UV reds and UVB rays.
G-15 Lenses
In 1951, in response to a Navy Air Corps requirement, Bausch & Lomb began developing a truly neutral sunglass lens, called the N-15. This lens was reformulated slightly to make it more suitable for prescription use and renamed the G-15. The military services were so impressed that they wrote a complete set of specifications around the characteristics of the G-15 lenses.
Eyes do not respond equally to all colors in the visual spectrum. The eyes are more sensitive to green and yellow wavelengths and are less sensitive to red and blue. Based on this knowledge, the G-15 lens was formulated to emphasize the colors that our eyes see most easily and de-emphasize less useful colors.
The G-15 lens absorbs 85% of visibile light, transmitting only 15%. The light transmission curve of the G-15 (showing the amount of light that is allowed to pass through the lens) is similar to the color sensitivity of the human eye. What this means is that the lens transmits colors in the same way tha tour eyes are sensitive to colors. This results in natural vision - true colors that are easy on the eye.
The G-15 lens is made of impact resistant optical quality glass. It provides 100% Ultraviolet (UV) protection, is naturally scratch resistant, and has outstanding stability with virtually no time-related fading or alteration of the tint.
Now we can engineer the G15 lens to be less than 85% ( not so dark ) - yet still keeping the grey/brown combination. We also love the look of the G15 lens - It is used in many classic sunglasses from all the top designers and now you have the chance to make your own glasses just the way you want. Prehaps combine it with silver Mykita, Gotti or Porsche Frame.
POLARISED
Eliminates 100% horizontal light and some light in other directions waves reducing glare and is great when in conditions of high reflectance of light such as outdoors, slopes , on the water or in the deserts, or on roads where the relected light can even block the roads view.
