Photonics Science
Glare is simply scattered light and is all around us, it is created naturally by flat, shiny, reflective surfaces, it is distracting, uncomfortable and more importantly, unavoidable if you are not wearing a polarised sunglass lens. Everyone who has driven a car, spent time walking in the hills, mountains and countryside, taken their holidays in a sunny climate, or by the sea, on the river, or taken a short city break, will be familiar with the harsh effects of glare.
HOW BLINDING GLARE IS CREATED
Light travels from the sun in the form of waves to our Earth. Once these waves hit a reflective surface these waves change their energy and become scattered. This is the true nature of light. Due to this reflection we can sense colours as well as intensity of light. But from the moment of reflection, light also may become polarized and form visual noise - blinding glare that interferes with the real image. The only way to eliminate this glare is to place a polarized lens in its path. This fundamental principle gave birth to polarized eyewear.
The Art & Science Behind NuPolar Lenses
NuPolar’s advanced polarising filter – the most important element of a NuPolar lens.
OPTICS
NuPolar lenses will eliminate blinding glare, but as in any lens, strict optical power standards must be maintained. The prescriptions have been carefully assessed and the lens will accurately reflect that.
COLOUR UNIFORMITY
The colour of NuPolar lenses will be consistent, irrespective of the prescription and will not fade over time. If, for some reason, one of the lenses must be replaced, the new lens will always match the original.
AXIS ALIGNMENT
Axis alignment is crucially important to the polarized eyewear performance. To produce maximum efficiency, the filter must be aligned accurately along the 0-180 axis.
TRANSMITTANCE
NuPolar® lenses are premium quality sun lenses, which meet international standards, for daylight driving, block glare efficiently and offer 100% UV protection against potentially harmful UVA & UVB. They are available in six different colours, and the visible light transmittance varies slightly for each colour.
Thin Film Technology
This is the unique thin film technology incorporated within a clear lens. NuPolar sunlenses consistently undergo strict quality checks which guarantee high performance and premium quality.
POLARIZING EFFICIENCY
To achieve maximum performance a polarising lens must maintain 99% polarising filter efficiency. NuPolar lenses are among the most efficient on the market, eliminating reflected glare and maximising the useful light
ADHESION
NuPolar thin polarising film has a unique proprietary chemical link to the lens material and thanks to the specialised casting process will not delaminate during the edging like many other polarized lenses do.
THIN FILM PLACEMENT
Placing the polarising filter accurately and consistently approximately 0.5mm from the front surface of the lens is essential for producing the thinnest polarized lenses in any prescription. The film must be aligned accurately across the whole front surface of the lens to avoid the damage to it during the surfacing.
HEAT STABILITY
Heat stability of polarized lenses is very important because all lenses have to go through application of scratch-resistant and AR coatings during which they are subjected to high temperatures. NuPolar® lenses have been specially designed to perform consistently well under these adverse conditions. By carefully measuring the colour of the lens before and after the essential thermo curing process our proprietary HT film technology enables us to reduce ‘colour shift’ and consistently produce one of the most colour stable polarised lenses available today
