Sunglasses

Colored lenses are still used to protect your eyes against UV light (UV-A and UV-B) or bright sunlight. It first seems tempting to buy a pair of sunglasses for 10 euros: you can buy multiple pairs, change them up ... because they are a lot cheaper. However, they are not nearly as high in quality. Good sunglasses or sunglass lenses must block and absorb the sun’s UV rays. Cheap sunglasses have either a much lower quality filter or no filter at all. Our eyes and brain think they are protected because the bright light seems much softer. Our pupils then dilate or open up. Our eyes are then fully exposed to the harmful UV rays. Choose the darkest lenses possible for the best filtering. They transmit much less light than lighter colored lenses. Caution! Sunglasses do not protect your eyes against HEV light (high energy visible light) or blue light.

The following colors are available for most single-vision and multifocal lenses. Would you like to learn more about these lenses? Go to the single-vision and/or progressive lens section to see the difference between the various types of single-vision and multifocal lenses.

Standard tints

The optoVision standard tints are available in the following colors:

  • Brown 12%, 20%, 75%, 85% 
  • Grey 12%, 20%, 75%, 85% 
  • Green 12%, 85% 
  • Blue 12%, 85% 

Is your preferred color not listed under the standard tints? No problem, optoVision is very good at producing tints upon request or based on a sample. 

Gradient lens tints

Gradient tinted lenses are sunglasses where the color goes from light to dark. The light area is at the bottom so that there is still enough light to be able to read a magazine for example.  We can also look into the distance through the top area because the lenses are darker at the top. 

optoVision has the following colors:

  • Brown 40% to 85%
  • Grey 40% to 85%
  • Green 40% to 85%
  • Blue 40% to 85%

Is your preferred color not listed under the gradient lens tints? No problem, optoVision is very good at producing tints upon request or based on a sample.  

Mirrored lenses

Mirrored lenses, the word says it all: these are lenses that are a mirror on the outside, so that someone talking to the person wearing them will see his or her own reflection.  The inside of the lens is available in a choice of three standard colors: grey, brown or green. This is the color in which the wearer will see the world. He or she will not notice the mirror at all. Mirrored lenses are available in the following colors:

  • Red
  • Rose
  • Green
  • Blue
  • Silver (light)
  • Gold

Contrast +

The Contrast+ lenses are also coloured lenses, produced in-house at optoVision. The difference with standard tinted lenses is that these lenses offer increased contrast.

These glasses are available in the colours Pine Forest, Autumn leaf, Wild Honey and Cat's eye. They are also available in the faded shades Polar Nights and Desert Sunrise, with a colour gradient of 85% to 40%.

Vision Company has already been powered by German optoVision for 10 years when it comes to lenses. We are their exclusive distributor for their high-technology lenses in the Belgian market.

optoVision was founded in 1979 and has developed a lot of expertise over the years. This expertise is evident to everyone. In 2016, optoVision has been elected over and over as the number 1 lens supplier of the biennial survey by 'markt intern' in Germany.

An internal market study compared 13 German lens suppliers based on 12 criteria. The German opticians gave 12 separate scores for each manufacturer. And that is how optoVision proudly accepted the title of the best lens manufacturer not just once, but four times in a row.

In 2017, optoVision consciously said ‘no’ to moving production to low-wage countries. No less than 6.000.000 euros were invested in production in Langen. 

optoVision may not be so well known in the Belgian market, but we are doing everything within our power to compete against the large, well-known brand name suppliers. We attend training multiple times a year so that we can give you the most accurate info.
