Lx Lens Benefits

GLARE PROTECTION & COMFORT:
Filters out wavelengths of light that cause discomfort from glare to produce a comforting, quieting effect on the eye.

COLOR:
Enhances color perception for improved functional vision without the undesirable dark lens effect that masks important visual cues.

CONTRAST:
Enhanced contrast and clarity for mobility and safety.

BLUE LIGHT FILTERING:
Eases digital eye strain and reduces glare for visual comfort.

How can EnChroma Lx eyewear help with glare?

Lx Series lenses block specific wavelengths of light that cause discomfort from glare, while managing color to creatively increase contrast important for visibility especially in lower light conditions or to protect eyes from bright sun. The result is a unique feeling of relaxation visually through glare relief yet with added vibrancy for better color vision, all without the undesirable effects from a dark lens that masks important visual cues.

What Customers are Saying

"The quality of the EnChroma protective lenses is exceptional. The sunglasses and frames are comfortable even after a few hours. Lenses and frames are available in a range of color tones, and glare is reduced with less eye strain. The use of EnChroma glasses facilitated post procedure healing, vision clarity and my overall mobility. I highly recommend these advanced sunglasses."
