POLARIZED LENSES
The Difference is Safe, Comfortable Vision. Cut the sun
glare that impairs your vision.
NuPolar® is the best-polarized lens to dramatically reduce painful glare
caused by reflected sunlight. Younger Optics has created a technology first by
combining a built-in, polarizing filter with 100% UV protection. NuPolar lenses
offer superior visual comfort, increased clarity and significant protection from
harmful UV rays.
NuPolar polarized lenses helps to protect your eyes.
From the moment of reflection, light becomes polarized and
forms visual noise - Glare that interferes with the real image. The only way to
eliminate this glare is to place
a polarizing filter on its path. This fundamental principle gave birth to
polarized eyewear.
In fact, protection from the discomfort of sun glare ranks as the number one
benefit that people want when purchasing sunwear - both for prescription and
nonprescription users. Ordinary sunglasses do not provide sun glare protection;
only polarized lenses do. While sunwear often is considered a seasonal
accessory, sun glare protection is important all year round. Vision obscured by
sun glare is one of the leading causes of automobile accidents.
Attempts to create high quality polarized ophthalmic lenses in
early sixties were not successful because of optical and mechanical problems.
Polarizing fitters that existed on the market did not comply with the high
demands to the optical quality. The increased complexity of curvatures of
ophthalmic Lenses made the task even more difficult.

In the early 90's, Younger Optics launched an
ambitious program to create a polarized Lens that wills fully comply with
ophthalmic lens requirements. Younger R&D worked on every component and
processing aspect of the tens: polarizing film, optical curvature
compliance, and chemistry of polymerization and Laboratory surfacing
requirements.

The unique chemical composition of the polarizing film
facilitates a chemical reaction between hard resin monomer and polarizing film
material As a result, the polarizing component and hard resin plastic are linked
by stable chemical bond. This eliminated any chance of film separation.
Younger Optics created a proprietary technology to match the
polarizing film curve with the front curve of the tens. The technology allowed
Younger Optics to introduce to the market not only monofocal lenses but also
multifocal and progressive tenses. It has also allowed surfacing polarized
tenses to the same thickness as regular hard resin lenses. This was impossible
before the Nupolar® tens was introduced in 1994.
In 1996 Nupolar® was awarded the prestigious Award of
Excellence by OphthaLmic Laboratory Association of North America, The first and
only sunglass lens to receive such honour.

Sun glare is harshest when reflected off of road pavement and
vehicle hoods, making driving conditions dangerous. Reducing sun glare with
NuPolar® polarized lenses also make colors more vibrant by offering greater depth
perception and crisp, clear vision - reducing eyestrain while improving the
quality of your vision.

* High impact polycarbonate: 1.586 R.I.
Nupolar is a polarized sun lens that helps filter glare and
extreme harsh light beyond the abilities of normal sun lenses. Polarized lenses
enhance optical contrast and clarity letting you see better on bright days and
further through fog, rain or snow. A thin polarizing film embedded in the lens
virtually eliminates the reflected light associated with glare. These features
make polarized lenses the ideal choice for active outdoor lifestyles, driving,
boating and fishing. Polarized lenses are the best performance sun lens
available today.
