The lenses have a basic tint of 55 per cent and darken to a maximum of 90 per cent, depending on the intensity of the sunlight. “ColorMatic IQ Sun equally appeals to spectacles wearers who are athletically active as well as fashion enthusiasts and makes that unpopular changing of spectacles on sunny days unnecessary.” The lenses come in three fashion colours – brown, green and grey – as well as contrast brown, which allows people to recognize fine details in nature or in traffic. The lenses are also available in an optional “silver moon” mirror coating. The polycarbonate lenses are coated with Vision Ease’s Vivid AR, for unparalleled clarity and cleanability. Centennial Optical also has its own house brand of photochromics, called Centoptic SunChangers. The company's lenses, CHOICE HD, CHOICE Freedom HD, CHOICE Office HD and CHOICE Single Vision HD, are each available in SunChangers. “LifeRx lenses are recognized for their lightweight comfort and superior photochromic performance. LifeRx FSV AR lenses offer these qualities with the additional benefit of diminishing glare and reflections thanks to Vivid AR. The super-hydrophobic coating reduces distortion by allowing liquid to run off without streaking, and is highly scratch-resistant, anti-static and oleophobic to repel the daily grime that dirties lenses. The lenses are available in grey and brown. “Centoptic SunChangers provide an affordable alternative for patients who want good photochromic lens performance as well as good value,” says Rick Leroux, director of marketing and communications for Centennial Optical Ltd.'s lens division. Rodenstock, meanwhile, has launched its ColorMatic IQ Sun product lenses in Canada. WOW! 416•630•4470 -weighs less than 5 grams 1•800•263•1402 shillingoptical.com
