Lens
CAPTIVATE™ Polarized Bronze Mirror
With these lenses, colors are evenly distributed based on wavelength strength for increased contrast and performance. Additionally, they reduce blue light (HEV) to allow more saturation of colors in red, yellow and green areas; they define and intensify yellow shades; and they reduce glare across reflective surfaces. Light Transmission: 12% +/- 3%
DESIGNED FOR
- Bright sun / Changing Light
- Cloudy and overcast days
- Activities with lots of yellow landscapes such as hiking, or a trip to the beach
- General day driving
- Shallow water fishing
ENHANCED COLOR
CAPTIVATE™ filters out the confusing light where blue merges with green (500nm) and green merges with red (585nm). This allows more light where it’s easier for your eyes to see, resulting in enhanced blues, greens and reds for a true color experience.
GREATER CLARITY
Blue light with shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies scatter light and create haze. By filtering out this “bad” blue light, CAPTIVATE™ removes the haze and allows distant objects to be seen more clearly.
INCREASED ALERTNESS / ELEVATED MOOD
CAPTIVATE™ polarized lenses allow the beneficial side of blue light – blue-turquoise rays – to be seen. This helps maintain the body’s Circadian biological clock and the sleep/wake cycle. This beneficial blue light also boosts alertness, helps memory and elevates mood.
INCREASED CONTRAST
CAPTIVATE™ polarized technology is offered in a variety of lens tint options so you can fine-tune your experience based on the specific needs of your environment.
BETTER DEPTH PERCEPTION
By eliminating the bad blue light haze while separating and enhancing colors in the visual spectrum, CAPTIVATE™ lenses will enhance depth perception.
BLOCKS UV AND BAD BLUE LIGHT (HEV-HIGH ENERGY VISIBLE LIGHT)
CAPTIVATE™ blocks the UV/HEV rays of light that are harmful to our eyes, reducing the risk of damage to retinal cells and age-related macular degeneration. It is important to remember that spending one hour outside on a normal overcast day exposes our eyes up to at least 30 times more blue light than spending one hour inside sitting in front of a screen. Wiley X CAPTIVATE™ is the only premium polarized eyewear brand that blocks out all bad blue light up to 430NM.
SCRATCH/ABRASION RESISTANCE
CAPTIVATE™ Polarized lenses achieve a Bayer 7 rating for scratch resistance. A rating of 4 or higher equates to a premium coating.
OLEOPHOBIC COATING
Wiley X utilizes a proprietary oleophobic coating on all CAPTIVATE™ polarized lenses to create a smoother lens surface, which helps to keep dust, dirt, oil, snow and water from sticking to the lens. This in turn helps prevent smudging and water spots, making the lenses much easier to clean than an uncoated, standard lens.
