CLARITY
Wiley X was founded on a commitment to provide uncompromising protection . We apply this same spirit and dedication to building every Wiley X lens for optimal clarity . Wiley X lenses are made from Selenite™ polycarbonite and are rated ANSI Z87 .1+, ensuring crisper, more precise optics, enhanced color contrast, minimized distortion, and visual accuracy . From Digital Edge Thinning prescriptions custom-made in our lab to our Filter 8™ polarized lenses and patented CAPTIVATE™ polarized color enhancing lenses, we continue to innovate and develop technologies that provide unmatched precision for every lens we build .
ANSI OPTICAL CLARITY

All Wiley X lenses meet the strictest ANSI optical clarity requirements . We tirelessly test all of our lenses for refractive, resolving astigmatism and prismatic powers . Unlike ordinary lenses that can bend light and distort the true size of objects, our lenses are de-centered and tapered to ensure true spatial relationship of objects and distortion-free clarity .
FILTER 8™ POLARIZED
Our proprietary Filter 8™ polarized lens technology filters light to reduce glare and block reflective light . It includes two Slick™ hydrophobic coatings, two Selenite™ polycarbonate lenses, two T-Shell™ scratch-resistant layers, one Violet 4™ anti-reflective coating, and a Filter 8™ polarized film layer that creates 100% polarization and gives you 100% UV protection . This process increases durability and ultimately extends the life of your eyewear .
