Lens Technology (2024)

ULTRAL-LIGHT GLASS LENS
A full 20% thinner and lighter, Serengeti’s ultra-light glass is the most optically superior lens on the market.

HYDRO AND OLEOPHOBIC COATINGS
Repels water, fingerprints, and debris while and anti-reflective coating absorbs glare to eliminate backside reflections.

POLAR PHD LENS
Made with Trivex material that is 75% lighter than glass and 10% lighter than polycarbonate. Reduces lens weight, improves strength, Serengeti Polar PhD lenses deliver exclusive hues and high-definition benefits that are near-glass in clarity.

PHOTOCHROMIC LENSES

Lens Technology (1)

SERENGETI PIONEERED PHOTOCHROMIC LENSES

CONSTANTLY ADAPTING TO LIGHT CONDITIONS
Darkening in bright sunlight and lightening in overcast conditions, Photochromic lenses provides your eyes with the optimal amount of light at all times so you can adapt to any light, anytime, anywhere. Drivers lens transmittances - Darkened lens 9%, Lightened lens 24%. Colors and light transmittance comparisons. All Serengeti Lenses are Photochromic.

SEE EVERY DETAIL WITH PHOTOCHROMIC LENSES
By constantly adjusting to changing light conditions, photochromic lenses allow you experience enhanced contrast and discern shapes and colors more quickly. Eliminating both eyestrain and the loss of Detail.

TRUSTED BY DRIVERS AND PILOTS
The ability to adapt instantly anywhere is why Serengeti Sunglasses are the preferred choice of drivers, pilots, and anyone who experiences a wide range of light conditions on a daily basis.

HOW IT WORKS
Serengeti imbedded molecules into the lens that adjust to light. In bright light conditions, when UV light is more intense, the lens molecules expand in size, darkening the lenses and allowing them to absorb more light. In darker conditions when UV radiation is less intense, the molecules shrink and separate, letting additional light pass through. This provides the optimal amount of light at all times and to eliminate eyestrain and give you the clearest view of the world around you.

SPECTRAL CONTROL

Lens Technology (2)

MANAGING THE LIGHT, STARE DOWN HAZE

Spectral control works like a visual equalizer by selectively managing the light wavelengths and blocking out the harshest ones. Haze and glare are dramatically diminished, contrasts is enhanced, and your vision is sharper all while blocking out distracting blue light which causes eyestrain and fatigue.

ENHANCED VISION

By managing colors within the visible light spectrum, Spectral Control technology gives you stunning, high-definition contrast and color enhancement. This essentially gives your eyes control over the light, resulting in crisper vision and amazingly clear images.

POLARIZATION

Lens Technology (3)

STOP THE GLARE, CONTROL THE LIGHT

It may be beautiful scenery, but if light is bouncing around and being reflected off myriad surfaces, you're not going to see it at its best. That's why our polarization technology is specifically engineered to eliminate distracting glare, giving the wearer unsurpassed clarity and comfort.

POLARIZATION, A VENETIAN BLIND FOR YOUR EYES

Serengeti’s polarizing technology acts as a microscopic venetian blind. Parallel light rays can enter, while distracting perpendicular rays from glare are absorbed. Not only is glare irritating, but it also compromises clear vision, hinders your view, and tires your eyes. By eliminating clear on all surfaces, Serengeti lenses are idea for driving and other high-glare activities such as skiing and boating.

Launched in 1985, this ideal driving sunglass is the original and emblematic lens of Serengeti®. The amber-colored Drivers lens naturally amplifies contrast and definition. It is engineered to transmit and distinguish red, green and yellow colors, so they can pop in all environments. This lens provides technicolor sensations of warmth and is ideal for driving because it enhances colors and contrast, while lightening and darkening to provide optimal light transmission in any condition.

The amber-colored Drivers lens is particularly well suited for driving. That’s because it enhances colors and contrast, lightening and darkening for optimal light transmission in any driving condition. It’s also engineered to transmit more red, yellow and green colors, making it ideal for identifying stoplights. And thanks to its ability to relax your eye muscles, the Drivers lens helps reduce stress and fatigue while driving. Available in non-polarized and polarized ultra-light glass and Polar PhD™lenses.
