3 VIEW’s UV Cut technology provides superior protection from harmful ultraviolet (U.V.) rays. Increasing exposure to U.V. rays which damage the skin and eyes has become a serious problem. U.V. protection provides greater eye protection during outdoor use.

VIEW’s EZ Strap allows goggles to be quickly and easily adjusted with minimal effort. Adjustment can be made while the goggles are worn, allowing for a precise fit.

VIEW’s Super Anti-Fog treatment provides long-lasting protection against fogging caused by perspiration and heat. Wetting the inside of the lenses before use creates a film of water that ensures a clear field of view and allows the treatment to work effectively.

VIEW’s Anti-Bacterial treatment retards bacterial growth on the goggles surface ensuring a sanitary goggle for your child. Bacteria can easily be picked up from pool decks, locker rooms or other areas causing sickness.

VIEW’s 100% premium grade Silicone Seals offer the softest and longest-lasting eye seals available on the market today. Premium grade silicone is non-allergenic and resists stretching and fatigue from prolonged use in chlorine, reducing leakage and replacement.

The VIEW Corrective Lens system is offered on several styles of goggles. This unique system allows the user to choose right and left lens powers in both +/- diopters for maximum flexibility and for a custom fit. VIEW was the first manufacturer to pioneer this design.

VIEW’s Hypo-Allergenic T.P.E. Seals provide maximum comfort and water-tightness over extended periods of use. The T.P.E. seals are not sensitive to the skin and are able to be manufactured in numerous color combinations, unlike premium grade silicone.

VIEW’s Mirrored Lens reduces glare that can impair the swimmer’s vision by reflecting sun light. This feature drastically improves swimmer’s vision.

VIEW’s premium grade Silicone Straps offer the softest, most pliable and longest-lasting straps available on the market today. Surgical grade silicone is non-allergenic and resists stretching and fatigue from prolonged use in chlorine.

In only 20 seconds, the VIEW Lens system can be turned into goggles equipped with corrective lenses. This requires only an add-on assembly rather than a complete exchange of lenses, so the goggle does not need to be taken apart. In addition to greatly reducing the assembly time, these goggles are offered with corrective lenses at a lower price than our competitors.

The nose bridge is inserted through the lenses.

Why Do My Lenses Fog? The fog is caused by tiny droplets of water created by temperature differences. When goggles are worn, the outside of the lens is cooled by water while the inside is kept warm by body temperature. The difference in temperature arising from this causes droplets to form on the lens, so fine that they can hardly be seen by the naked eye. These droplets diffuse light, causing the fog. This is the same as when cold water is poured into a glass and droplets form on the outer surface.

Lens without anti-fogging Droplets on lens

Light diffusion (fogging) Light (image) Lens

Eliminate fog to achieve a clear field of vision. The anti-fog lens creates an even film of water over the surface of the lens. This absorbs the droplets formed on the inner surface of the lens, eliminating the fog. Because a layer of water has formed, light is not diffused and the swimmer can see clearly through the lens. Based on the same principle, when the surface of the sea is calm, one can see clearly down underwater. If water stains or dirt from your hands get on to the inner surface of the lens, it could cause fogging. To avoid this, please wash the lens thoroughly with fresh water after each use.

14 VIEW Goggle Lens Color Variations

C

CLEAR

Clear lenses are ideal for indoor use and best for extremely low light conditions. Clear lenses are designed to allow maximum light penetration, giving contrast to dark areas and increasing overall visibility.

BR

BROWN

Brown lenses provide good contrast and best-suited for variable light conditions. Brown lenses are good general purpose lenses and like smoke lenses, cut down on glare and reflections.

P

PINK

Pink lenses are ideal in flat light conditions and recommended for indoor use. The pink tint helps to enhance depth perception and sharpen features. A pink lens offers little protection in bright light conditions.

OR/Y

ORANGE/YELLOW

With the high contrast effect, these lenses cut out blue light and block glare in an indoor pool.

SK

SMOKE

Smoke lenses offer good protection on sunny days or during outdoor training. The smoke tint will filter out most of the light, cutting down on reflections and glare. A brown lens tint is similar to smoke but will allow more light penetration and can be a good alternative.

LV

LAVENDER

Compared to SK lenses, these lenses have a higher transmittance level for visible light. They give you a feminine look.

GR

GREEN

Green lenses filter some blue light and enhance contrast in low-light conditions. The green tint offers high contrast and is versatile indoors or outdoors.

BL

BLUE

Blue lenses are ideal for indoor training or low light conditions. The blue tint offers high contrast while reducing glare from visible white light.

R

RED

With the contrast effect, they reduce the glare of visible light. They help you feel more lively.
