Our ecLiPse Series Photochromic lenses come equipped with a smoke base colour with a light silver mirror coating on the front and an anti-fog coating on the rear surface. Available in the Surge, Typhoon and FLO models, these lenses offer a neutral tone, and are a category 1-3 polycarbonate lens. The photochromic element is activated by UV and the tint adjustment period is 15-20 seconds. The VLT (visible light transmission) range is 14% to 52%. At these VLT levels, the lenses will be able to handle a wide range of lighting conditions from bright sunshine to cloudy skies, and are an ideal lens for the winter months or if you need something for changeable conditions. Equipped with an advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on the front surface and an anti-fog and hard coat on the rear surface.

Available only in the Typhoon model, this nylon lens is suited to bright and very bright conditions. As the visible light transmission (11.8%) is 2% higher than the transmission rate for the Pacific Blue lenses – the Super Blue lens performs a little better in lower light conditions. These lenses subdue the amount of blue light entering the eye and enhance reds and greens. The mirror coating also reflects some blue light. A good stylistic alternative to the Pacific Blue lenses if you prefer a lighter blue mirror coating and a little more brightness in the field of view. Equipped with Zeiss’s advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on both sides of the lenses.

Our ecLiPse photochromic smoke lenses offer a versatile solution for days when the weather and lighting conditions are changeable. The tint of these lenses adapts to changes in visible light, ranging from 45% when light levels are low to 15% in sunny conditions. The base colour is grey which offers a neutral tone. Note that photochromic lenses do not cut out reflected glare – only polarized lenses can achieve this. As with all our watershades lenses, these lenses come equipped with an advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on both inner and outer lens surfaces.

Our ecLiPse Series photochromic lenses with a brown base colour with a red mirror coating come into their own when the clouds roll in and are ideal for changeable winter and spring weather conditions. As with all of our photochromic lenses, the tint of these lenses adapts to changes in UV levels, ranging from 74% when UV levels are low to 19% when the sun emerges from behind the clouds. With a rapid activation and deactivation speed of 20-25 seconds irrespective of temperature, they offer a versatile solution for difficult lighting conditions. They come equipped with an advanced hydrophobic coating, oleophobic and hard coatings on both inner and outer lens surfaces.

A Category 3 polarized lens with a brown base colour, our Methane Brown lenses lift or ‘pop’ all colours (but especially reds and greens). This in turn increases contrast and reduces eye fatigue. With a VLT of 15.6% (the highest VLT rate of our polarized Zeiss lenses for the Typhoon) they can be used in all conditions, however there is a noticeable difference in performance in cloudy or changeable lighting conditions. The 'Methane' refers to a very subtle silver sheen applied on top of the base lens for a touch of style. Equipped with an advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on both sides of the lenses.

The violet base colour of the Pacific Blue lenses by ZEISS provide enhanced contrast and vivid colour perception. The violet base colour subdues the amount of blue light entering the eye and enhance the reds and greens – offering a HD visual experience. These category 3 polarised lenses are perfect for very bright conditions in environments with deep blue ocean colours like the Pacific or Atlantic. The VLT is 9.95% which is at the lower end of a Category 3 lens and so they are perfectly suited to really bright and sunny conditions. They come equipped with Zeiss’s advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on both sides of the lenses.

The Rose Gold nylon lenses have a brown base lens colour which is coupled with a rose gold mirror coating. The brown base lens colour offers great contrast and also contributes to a reduction of eye fatigue. The VLT rate for these lenses is 14.2% which while still squarely within the Category 3 range, is a bit higher than most of our other Zeiss lenses which fall in the 9-12% range. This lens is therefore well equipped for lower light conditions and cloudier days, but may not be the perfect choice for super-bright sunny conditions. They come equipped with Zeiss’s advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on both sides of the lenses.

The Methane Smoke Category 3 nylon lenses by Zeiss offer a neutral tone. If you prefer a natural representation of colours or you have sensitive eyes, this is very likely the lens for you. They have a VLT rate of 11.1% which means that they are designed for bright & sunny environments. At this VLT level, the lenses will be able to handle strong sunlight and significant glare. However, for cloudy days and sessions when the sun is well on its way down, they may be a little on the dark side. They are equipped with an advanced hydrophobic coating to repel water, an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and a hard coating on both sides of the lenses.
