All Nolo262® lenses pass the ANSI Z80.3 test for impact resistance and optical clarity. They are all optically correct with zero distortion and are made from polycarbonate, which is six times lighter and ten times stronger than glass.
Most importantly, all Nolo262®’s feature lenses with high visual light transmission, which also blocks all of the harmful UVA and UVB light.
It’s actually very simple – it’s the percent of sunlight that passes through a lens and hits your eye. A clear lens lets 100% of light through, and a completely blacked-out lens lets 0% of light through. In short, the darker the lens, the lower the VLT. Most sunglasses that feature gray, green, or brown lenses have a VLT of around 10-20%. In other words, they block 90-80% of light.
However, when there is very little sunlight (rain, fog, sleet, snow, dusk, dawn) you should wear a lens with a high VLT (above 50%) to allow the good light in to increase your visual acuity, depth perception, and contrast enhancement, while also blocking the harmful UVA and UVB light.
Most popular low light lens, very good at highlighting brighter colors such as red lights and leaves in fall. It also blocks high-energy visible light (blue light) which emanates from screens such as phones, computer monitors, and tablets.
Excellent all-around lens for low light conditions; blocks haze and blue light and accentuates bright colors.
Will block more light than yellow or orange and is soft on the eyes. Will often times help those with red-green color deficiency.
