Gargoyles Performance Eyewear:
Since 1983
Gargoyles' founder, Dennis
Burns, identified the need for a dramatically new concept in performance
eyewear. His philosophy was that eyewear should offer protection for the
human eye, while also being comfortable to wear for extended periods of
time. 20 years ago, Gargoyles introduced the Toric Curve lens to
the U.S. eyewear market. Gargoyles' patented Toric Curve™ lens features
a unique WrapBack™ design.
The Dual-Lens Toric Curve
Design™ :
Unlike ordinary sunglass lenses, Gargoyles Dual-Lens Toric Curve™
design is not spherical in shape. Instead, this advanced lens design
features a horizontal curvature similar to that of a 10-base lens, and a
vertical curvature similar to that of a 5-base lens. The result is the
Gargoyles Dual-Lens-Toric Cruve™ design provides up to 210 degrees
of peripheral coverage--the most extreme wrap on the market.
The human eye is extremely
sensitive to misalignment of light rays. Gargoyles engineers discovered
that the optimal lens design for minimizing peripheral distortion
requires dual-lenses. In a dual-lens design, the optical center of
each lens can be aligned with the visual center of the eye. The
alignment ensures that visual distortion is minimized when looking
straight ahead and when viewing objects at extreme peripheral angles.
This eliminates eye irritation, headaches and dizziness, associated with
long-term use of competing lens designs--a key reason why demanding
medical professionals and the military have chose to wear Gargoyles.
The end of distortion as we know
it. Have you ever felt tired or suffered from a headache after
wearing ordinary sunglasses all day? This is the result of your
eyes automatically and involuntarily correcting for refraction, a type
of distortion. With most sunglasses, your eyes must continually
work to correct for refraction caused by light bending as it passes
through the lenses.
Unlike ordinary sunglasses,
Gargoyles have been specifically designed to eliminate refraction.
How? By incorporating a special patented Zero-Prism Design™
we call the Dual Lens Toric Curve™ . The sophisticated geometry of
the Dual Lens Toric Curve™ minimized the refraction associated
with other lens designs. Light is transmitted directly to your eye
with virtually no change in direction.
In short, the information your
eyes receive is true. And your eyes don't have to work overtime to
process it. The result is pure visual comfort without distortion,
headache, dizziness.
Polycarbonate protection:
Our polycarbonate lenses offer such exceptional impact resistance that
our Classics can withstand the impact of a .22 caliber bullet fired from
just ten feet away.
Our Classics are 50 times
stronger than safety glass and 20 times stronger than structural
aluminum. They exceed the ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA requirements.
All Gargoyles lenses guard your
eyes with 100% UVA, B and C protection. Our lenses our coated with
a NASA derived scratch-resistant and anti-fog coating, which offer 30%
more protection than conventional coatings.
Gargoyles continues its pursuit
of ultimate protection while at play. We are proud of our distinguished
history and are very excited about the technologies and products that
are our foundation and future.
