Aqua Precision Lens Technology

Aqua precision technology, originally developed by NASA, was first used on astronaut helmet visors and windows on the portholes of satellites. Edge Eyewear is the first company ever to offer safety glasses that feature Aqua Precision lenses. The unique properties of this lens effectively block the transmission of infrared light while also reducing excess blue and red light on both ends of the light spectrum. The result is ultimate optical clarity and contrast, especially in the brightest light conditions.

The graph above shows how Aqua Precision lenses reduce red and infrared light transmission, as compared to a normal sunglasses with Smoke lenses.

Blue Light Filter Lenses

Blue light enters the eye in short wavelengths, causing it to be focused too far in front of the retina. The result is a blue blur that can cause eye strain, particularly while driving. Copper, amber, and yellow-colored lenses reduce blue light to give greater depth perception and improve optical clarity. Edge Eyewear is the first company ever to offer Blue Light Filter lenses for safety glasses, which offer a brighter and sharper view of surroundings.

Copper lenses make bright and variable conditions appear sharper and filter high levels of blue light. This “Blue Light Filter” lens relieves eye fatigue by increasing depth perception and contrast, making it the ideal tint for daytime driving and golfing.

Amber lenses make variable light conditions appear brighter and filter medium levels of blue light. Amber coloring increases depth perception and contrast during activities where light is flat or contrast is minimal, such as working in the snow or skiing.

Yellow lenses make dull, overcast, and foggy conditions appear brighter and filter low levels of blue light. This lens color increases depth perception and contrast during dawn or dusk activities, including driving.
