ULTRA 2000 LENSES
Our premier lens, the Ultra 2000 lens is a major advancement in variable tint technology, giving outstanding performance in both low light and bright sunshine.
In its ‘low light’ state, the Ultra 2000 has an olive green tint. This is designed specifically for lighting conditions where a normal lens would struggle – perfect for fishing at dawn or dusk. As the light increases, the lens will darken to a deep brown giving you the perfect degree of glare-free vision. Currently available in single vision only.
ULTRA 2000 DRIVING LENS
The revolutionary Ultra 2000 driving lens is three lenses in one and is designed to offer advanced visual performance behind the wheel. These lenses vary the transmission of light through the lens to give maximum visual accuracy when driving in overcast conditions or bright sunshine.
EXTREME LENSES
The Extreme lens is designed to be used where your existing tinted lenses start to struggle and has been specifically developed to enhance light at very low illumination levels so is perfect for fishing at dawn or dusk. Currently available in non prescription and single vision only.
