Just The Facts

  • Coppertone polarized lenses are lightweight lenses
  • Coppertone lenses provide up to 10x the impact resistance of ordinary sun lenses Coppertone lenses are virtually unbreakable
  • Coppertone lenses are four times more scratch resistant than ordinary lenses
  • Coppertone lenses provide more HEV protection than ordinary sun lenses.
  • Coppertone lenses eliminate 97% or more of reflected glare.
  • Coppertone lenses eliminate reflected glare*
    • 99.5% (gray lenses)
    • 97% (brown lenses)
  • Coppertone lenses block 100% of UV (UVA/UVB) rays
  • Coppertone lenses go beyond UV protection to guard against harmful high energy visible (HEV) light
  • Coppertone lenses provide added protection against UV light which may contribute to the development of several common sunlight related eye maladies, including cataract.
  • Coppertone lenses provide added protection against HEV light which may contribute to the development of macular degeneration, a common sunlight related eye malady.
  • The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends Coppertone polarized lenses as an effective UV filter for the eyes and surrounding skin.
  • Coppertone lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, the same rays that may contribute to premature skin aging caused by sunlight
  • Scientific studies have shown that HEV light may contribute to development of macular degeneration, a serious eye disease
  • Scientific studies have shown that UV light may contribute to development of cataracts, a serious eye disease
  • Glare has been implicated as a cause of headaches, including migraines. Polarized lenses reduce glare. Coppertone lenses are polarized and eliminate 97% or more of reflected glare.
  • Coppertone lenses are manufactured from high quality optical grade polycarbonate resin.
  • Coppertone lenses meet applicable Impact Resistance requirements of FDA regulation 21 CFR 801.410.
  • Coppertone lenses meet AOA specifications for blockage of UVA and UVB rays.
  • Recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation: Coppertone lenses are recommended as an effective UV filter for the eyes and surrounding skin.
  • Coppertone lenses utilize patented manufacturing technology.
  • One or more of U.S. patents #6,328,446;#5,757,459;#5,856,860;#5,827,614;#6,814,896;#4,698,374;#5,036,115;#5,047,447;#5,112,883;#6,640,967.
  • Coppertone lenses are thin
  • Coppertone lenses provide 160% or more high energy visible (HEV) light protection as ordinary polarized lenses.
  • Color Perception:
    • Coppertone lenses are designed to provide good color perception while meeting all requirements of ISO for all traffic signal recognition.
    • Coppertone lenses are designed to not harmfully distort color perception.
    • Coppertone lenses are designed to allow for accurate color recognition for all traffic signals and blue lights found on emergency vehicles.
    • Coppertone lenses meet all ISO requirements for traffic signal recognition, which are designed to allow wearers to recognize colors from both traffic signals and blue lights found on emergency vehicles.
    • Coppertone lenses are designed to allow wearers to see their world in more natural and crisp colors.
