Amber Lens Series
The Amber Series consists of 3 amber (brown) tinted lenses possessing visible light transmission values of 12%, 36%, and 87% respectively. The Amber Series is designed for golfers that prefer a lens that blocks a high percentage of blue light. Blue light is at the dark end of the visible light spectrum and is the most difficult light to focus, especially as the eye ages. These lenses improve contrast by accentuating the brighter colors, especially green.
Lens Materials & Optics - All of our lenses are made of optical grade polycarbonate and are coated with a scratch resistant material. Polycarbonate has the highest impact resistance of the optical plastics and inherently blocks 100% of harmful ultraviolet light. Studies have indicated that exposure to ultraviolet light increases the onset of cataracts and other ocular diseases.
All of our lens styles utilize optically correct lenses, which effectively eliminate distortion across the normal viewing range of the player. We regularly test our lenses at an independent optical lab, and the results greatly exceed the ANSI optical guidelines. While meeting optical standards is important, the greatest testimony regarding the superior optics available in our lenses comes from the number of tour players that wear our glasses during tournament play. NYX is the number one sunglass on the LPGA and over 50 players from the 4 major professional tours regularly wear our sunglasses.
