The Oliver Peoples Proprietary Crystal lens uses innovative technologies to provide the wearer with an exceptional UV protection and clarity. Oliver Peoples remains true to their foundation of refined, vintage-inspired styles. With this new product offering, they unite the original aesthetic with high performance technology and creative design.

These exclusive lenses provide exceptional benefits and coatings. Unique to the market, Oliver Peoples introduces a new UV 400 + UV Block coating which assures maximum protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. Due to its natural purity and unique transparency, glass offers the most precise optics. The glass lens is available in High Index 1.60 and +3.0D/-3.0D total power range. Each lens is formed in a highly controlled process that guarantees there are no defects in the material, which would compromise vision and cause discomfort to the eyes. The organically hard surface of glass is scratch resistant. Glass is also resilient to heat, which is essential for the seamless application of coatings. To reduce eyestrain and fatigue for the wearer, an anti-reflection coating with UV Block is applied while hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings are applied to repel dust, water, oil, and fingerprints.

Craftsmanship Process

Coatings

Several advanced coatings are applied to our exclusive glass lenses. Coatings assure maximum protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays, ensuring the best vision possible. Ultraviolet light is an invisible form of radiation produced by the sun and potentially harmful to the human eye. An anti-reflective coating absorbs bounce-back glare off the interior of the lens, preventing it from entering the eye, thus reducing eyestrain and fatigue. Hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings repel dust, water, oil, and fingerprints.
