uvex lens technology<br />
Through “ADVANCED OPTICS BY SCIENCE”, uvex works with leading<br />
scientists to initiate independent research projects.<br />
People often complain about the higher order of aberration in<br />
safety eyewear, citing difficulties in seeing clearly, such as:<br />
• Driving in twilight or at night<br />
• Reduction of contrast sensitivity<br />
• Traffic light or head lights in twilight appear distorted or with halo<br />
and coloured rings<br />
• Occurrence of double or ghost-images<br />
• Defocus<br />
• Diffuse stray and/or scattered light<br />
• Starburst – pattern<br />
Research conducted by Prof. Michelson and Prof. Langenbucher<br />
of the Friedrich-Alexander University resulted in the creation of<br />
a new optical class for safety eyewear with wave-front optimized<br />
lens technology:<br />

All uvex lenses provide excellent mechanical protection and absorb 100% of UV rays. uvex safety eyewear complies<br />
with AS/NZS 1337 (“Occupational eye protectors for industrial applications”) and also with the new AS/NZS 1337.1<br />
(“Eye and face protectors for occupational applications”), which will be published in 2010.<br />
Untinted lenses offer: 100% UV protection but not sun glare protection.<br />
