DELTA PHOTOCHROMIC
Delta Photochromic™ lenses are engineered to adjust to nearly any light condition—which means as the sun gets brighter, your lenses get darker, and vice versa. Active molecules are cast into the lens material for quick activation times, extended life, and durability. Spy Delta Photochromic™ lenses have one of the widest transition ranges of any photochromic lenses on the market and will take you from daybreak to nightfall with style and ease.

TRIDENT POLARIZED DELTA PHOTOCHROMIC
This is hands-down our highest quality lens. Our breakthrough system combines Spy’s proven Delta Photochromic™ and NXT® technology with Trident Polarization. The result is an unbreakable, auto-tinting lens that stops over 95% of blinding glare. This lens is as good as it gets, built for those whom face the harshest daily conditions and are serious about their eyewear.

TRIDENT POLARIZED LENSES
Spy manufactures premium injected Trident Polarized lenses. Trident lenses diffuse glare through the use of a highly advanced polarizing filter layered within the injected lens, allowing incredible clarity, even in the harshest conditions.
Trident Polarized lenses effectively eliminate more than 99% of blinding glare. Spy’s polarized lenses may cost you more, but our injected lenses will outlast and out-perform a typical polarized lens every day of the week (and twice on Sunday!).

NXT®
A revolutionary innovation in unbreakable optical polymer technology, Spy’s NXT® lenses resist impact, scratching, chemicals, and atmospheric agents. The superior optical quality, clarity, lightness, and impact resistance provide clear, comfortable vision and the highest protection for your eyes. Spy’s current line of Delta™ Photochromic lenses are cast in NXT® material.
NXT® is a registered trademark of Intercast Europe S.p.A. U.S. Patents 5,962,617; 5,811,506; 6,258,917; 6,127,505. Other patents pending.

UV PROTECTION
In addition to providing the highest in optical clarity, Spy lenses provide 100% UV protection (385nm). All Spy lenses,including clear, absorb 100% of UVA, UVB, and UVC rays and provide powerful protection against the harmful effects of solar radiation. Filtering agents are integrated in the lens-manufacturing process and provide eye protection in all conditions.Ultraviolet rays or UV (100 to 380 nm) are now known to be the most harmful of the sun’s rays. There are three types of UV rays:
- UVA (315 to 380 nm) are the principle cause of aging of the eye.
- UVB (280 to 315 nm) also harmful, cause sunburn.
- UVC (100 to 280 nm) potentially the most dangerous for the eyes, but are filtered by the ozone in the upper layers of the Earth’s atmosphere.

SPHERICAL VS. TORIC VS. MOSAIC
SPHERICAL: Traditional spherical lenses have a consistent vertical and horizontal curve in the lens. If the edge of the lens were to continue around back to itself, it would form a spherical shape.
TORIC: A Toric lens has different horizontal and vertical base curves—meaning that the vertical curvature is different than the horizontal curvature. This creates a unique appearance that is very wearable and gives high-wrap frames a modern look and feel.
MOSAIC: This one-of-a-kind lens has unique optical performance with futuristic ultra-wrapped design. Mosaic™ features curvature shape properties to conform to your face and head for ultimate eye protection, while maintaining a consistent thickness across the entire lens surface.
Eliminating distortions and reflections, Mosaic™ provides maximum comfort and a perfect global vision. The Mosaic™ lens gives the unusual appearance of turning a sharp corner while still providing precise optics.
