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 ANSI and 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 ANSI and 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.
