View All Products

PLEASANTON, Calif. (June 12, 2002) Panoptx® has introduced three new lenses to the world of eyewear. From the pioneer in Windless Eyewear™, these long-awaited innovations in lens technology provide optimum visibility and versatility without compromising vision. The Spectracoat lens, Varia Plus lens and Shooter Yellow lens all provide 100-percent UV protection and feature hydrophilic, anti-fog, scratch-resistant coatings on the inner surface and harder coatings on the front surface. Developed to work effectively with Panoptx’ proprietary Ocular Surround System™ (OSS™) featuring ULTRAPLUSH™ face foam, the lenses and OSS combine to provide expanded peripheral vision and a superior shield from wind, dust, snow, debris and harmful UV rays. Panoptx engineers lenses to offer maximum comfort and a tear-free, fog-free visual experience unmatched in the eyewear industry.

Spectracoat Lens
Panoptx’ new Spectracoat lens is a true Day/Night lens, an upgraded version of the existing Clear Spectra lens. This premium lens is ideal for riding, working to boost and mute certain colors while reducing glare from dawn to dusk. Providing the ultimate in visual protection, quality and performance, the Spectracoat lens features a light amber tint during the day and a clear tint at night, improving night vision and reducing headlight glare. The high-end versatility and performance of this lens has led the Spectracoat to be known as “a graphic equalizer for your eyes.”

Varia Plus Lens
Varia Plus was developed using a new variachromatic formula in a new polyurethane material. The Varia Plus adjusts tint from light copper to a dark grey 30-percent faster and grows 30-percent darker than the previous Varia lens. The Varia Plus also features an anti-fog coating directly on the inside of the lens. This single lens technology increases clarity and reduces lens distortion since an additional “anti-fog lens” is no longer necessary. Introduced in the Convertible and Cyclone frames, the Varia Plus lens represents a new element of comfort and performance.

Shooter Yellow Lens
Ideal for hunters and shooters, the Shooter Yellow single lens highlights objects during the day and at night and features an attractive yellow-colored lens. Complete with a polycarbonate lens that increases depth perception in all light conditions, the Shooter Yellow lens features a hard coat resistant to scratching with over 50-percent visible light transmission, allowing Panoptx to effectively service the outdoor enthusiast.

“Combined with the technology of the Ocular Surround System, these three lenses areexciting representations of visual innovation and uncompromised quality synonymous with Panoptx.” says Joel Olney, co-founder of Panoptx. “We consistently aim to produce superior eyewear that allows active consumers to perform at their highest level – these lens introductions allow us to accomplish that.”
