Adidas Lens Information

LST™  Lenses:
Glare and rapid changes in light can play havoc on the eyesight reducing the visual concentration.  Adidas eyewear has developed a specialized tint of lenses to counteract this reaction. Using light stabilizing technology the LST™ lens harmonizes extreme light fluctuation  with an additional light contrast effect.  Furthermore, the LST™  lens also works to define small details in terrain surfaces on uneven ground. LST™  Trail and LST™  Golf are light-stabilizer adaptations otpimized to the special demands of these sports. LST™  thus hinders the rapid tiring of eyes in fast changing light and guarantees the highest sporting performance.


SPACE Lens:
 In cooperation with the national Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Adidas eyewear has developed the SPACE Lens™  technology.  The filter has already been successfully used in numerous NASA missions, and is the indispensable equipment of NASA and ISS astronauts today for protection against high infrared and ultraviolet light.  Outdoor athletes have similar requirements for reliability and performance. Therefore introduced into the Adidas eyewear collection is the SPACE Lens™  to provide the ultimate in defense from intense lighting conditions.

Polarized:
Natural light is emitted like waves in all directions.  Light reflected from highly reflecting surfaces (e.g. snow, water, beach, wet road, etc.) is polarized i.e. reflected in a direction which is perceived by the human eye as unpleasant glare.  The Polarized Performance™  PC lenses from Adidas eyewear effective eliminate these reflected light waves.  Enhanced contrast and clear color perception: these are just some of the advantages of this lens technology.  The threefold anti-reflection coating additionally applied to the inside avoids reflections which occur at the glass surface and thus improves sharpness of vision and gives unimpaired clear sight.
