SEE THE WORLD D I F F E R E N T LY experience world altering color and clarity By blocking specific color wave intersections as they pass through the lens, ChromaPop™ is able to eliminate color confusion, so your brain is recognizing truer color, faster. ChromaPop™ optimizes color and increases clarity, enabling you to see the outside world with an unparalleled level of vibrancy.
HOW
WORKS
1. YOUR EYE PERCEIVES LIGHT THROUGH 3 COLORS
2 . C O LO R B E H AV E S L I K E A WAV E Individual BLUE, GREEN, and RED wavelengths are easily recognized by the eye
BLUE GREEN RED 3. COLOR CONFUSION OCCURS N AT U R A L LY
4 . C H R O M A P O P ™ F I LT E R S OUT COLOR CONFUSION
Where color wavelengths crossover, the eye has trouble distinguishing color.
Through our proprietary ChromaPop™ lens technology, we can eliminate the confusion by filtering light at those specific areas. We create greater definition and distinguish colors quickly and more vividly.

By specifically filtering light that reaches the eye, color confusion is decreased. Color becomes more vivid and saturated. Along with color saturation, clarity and definition are improved. FILTER
Where light waves intersect color confusion is created. The eye has trouble making sense of color and definition at these wavelength measurements.

THE CLARITY OF CHROMAPOP™ ChromaPop™ has an Abbe value of 45, making it optically superior. The higher the Abbe value, the more accurately a lens aligns the spectrum of light waves that pass through it. Lens materials with lower Abbe values are unable to focus these light waves accurately, resulting in “chromatic aberration,” a vision defect that appears as distracting fringes of color around dark type and objects.

S C I E N T I F I C A L LY A D VA N C E D ChromaPop™ lens material ChromaPop™ lenses employ a unique combination of patented color management and polarization techniques. The result is a lens that delivers dynamic color, exceptional clarity and high contrast. This advanced material can accept the sophisticated dyes and tints needed to create our proprietary visual experience. Meaning ChromaPop™ delivers high contrast, select color filtering and color enhancement better than other lens materials commonly used in sunglass and prescription sunglass lenses. Known throughout the industry for ophthalmic grade optics and superior performance, Trivex® is the material that powers the ChromaPop™ lenses. This gives ChromaPop™ lenses a visual acuity approaching glass, with benefits that surpass other materials.
Film-Free Polarization The patented Film-Free polarization coating is bonded to the lens surface without adhesives. This process eliminates the potential for cracking, crazing and delamination associated with other polarized lenses. ChromaPop™ polarized lenses provide edge to edge clear viewing with 99.8% polarization efficiency and 100% UV protection.
Opthalmic Quality Backside Anti-Reflective (A/R) Coating — Six layers Ophthalmic grade backside Anti-Reflective (A/R) coating for improved vision and prevention of bounce back glare and internal reflections.
Hydroleophobic Front and Backside Coatings Delivers a super slippery, smooth, easy to clean surface that repels water and debris. Highly scratch resistant, hydrophobic (water repellent), super slippery, debris resistant and anti-static.
