Maximum visual clarity is essential for a natural and comfortable viewing experience. This feature ensures that eyewear lenses allow the greatest possible amount of light to pass through to the eye, providing a benchmark for high-performance functionality.
The Science of Optical Clarity
In the eyewear industry, light transmission is the measure of a lens's "transparency." When light hits a standard lens, a portion of it is naturally reflected off the surface or absorbed by the material, which can cause dimness or distracting reflections (ghost images). High light transmission is achieved by using premium, high-purity optical polymers and applying advanced Anti-Reflective (AR) coatings. These microscopic layers cancel out internal reflections and "pull" more light through the lens. For the wearer, this results in sharper contrast, more vibrant colors, and reduced eye strain, making it feel as though there is almost no barrier between their eyes and the world.
Validation through the High Performance Mark
By meeting selected technical benchmarks, your eyewear products become eligible for the Intertek High Performance (HP) Mark’s High Light Transmission. We apply EN ISO 12312-1 and measure the light transmitted in the range 380 to 780nm. A minimum 95% transmittance is required.
This mark serves as a ‘proof of performance’ by validating that your product meets the High-Performance Mark standards. You can display the mark on product tags, brochures, packaging, websites, and in both online and offline stores across multiple channels, confidently signal to consumers that the performance claims of your products are verified.
