NYX Carbon Sunglasses – Lenses

The Carbon design is carefully crafted utilizing a 6-base lens curvature, which closely matches the natural curvature of the eye.   This important factor eliminates nearly all distortion properties across the normal viewing range and makes this system the best all-around package today for shooters, golfers, medical professionals, and fisherman.

The polycarbonate lens meets exceed ANSI Z80.1 requirements for impact resistance.  They are coated with a scratch resistant material and block 100% of harmful UVA/UVB light.

The Carbon Lenses are available in a variety of colors which are listed below.

Amber (Dark) – This is the second darkest lens we offer. It carries the same amber enhancement as the Medium Amber lens but will only allow 18% of available visible light through, making it a good lens for brighter conditions. *OUT OF STOCK*

Amber (Medium)– This is a medium colored lens allowing in about 33% of available visible light. The amber color filters light more evenly than the vermillion and orange lenses, allowing objects to appear closer to their natural color. The brightness and contrast control features on the lens allow it to be used in a wide variety of conditions.

Amber (Light) – Characteristics of amber help bring definition to a viewed object. This lens is brought texture to the environment and would be used in low lighting conditions as it allows 88% of available light to pass through. The slight rose tint would also help bring out and highlight colors.

Cobalt Blue – SPECIALTY – This lens will darken greenish and sky blue backgrounds and highlight yellow and green targets. A good lens for average to partly cloud condition. Allow 72% available visible light to pass through.

Clear – This lens allows 98% of available visible light and is mainly used indoors when no contrast is needed, or when there are adequate lighting conditions. This is a very good safety lens.

Gray (Medium) – An all-purpose lens which transmits all color schemes at the same level. Meaning objects seen through this lens stay true in nature. They are good lenses for bright sunny days allowing through 33% of available visible light.

Gray (Dark) – This is the darkest lens we offer providing only 12% available visible light to come through. It is used on very bright days to cut down on glare and reduce eye strain. The gray color will leave objects true to natural color.

Hunter Orange – This lens allows 50% of available visible light. It filters a greater amount of blue light than either the vermillion or amber brown lenses which brightens lighter colored targets. This lens should be used on cloudy to partly cloudy days to enhance contrasts. Or it can be worn on sunny days if you are wearing a hat.

Purple (Dark) – A darker blend of gray and vermillion.  Allows 30% of available visible light through.  Used on bright days to enhance clarity and sharpen contrast of objects against green backgrounds.

Purple (Medium) – This intermediate lens allows 46% of available visible light to come through and distribute better contrast and texture to targets against a greener background. It is an excellent choice for sportsmen looking to sharpen targets on partly cloudy and clear days.

Purple (Light) – This lighter colored lens combining the gray and vermillion shades to dampen the green backgrounds and enhance clarity of the target against tall trees. This lens is perfect for daytime conditions and allows 85% of available visible light through.

Vermillion (Dark) – The darkest rose-tinted lens in the series of vermilion shades. This lens will allow 22% available visible light to come through. It is best used during bright days to reduce terrain glare while still enhancing target color.

Vermillion (Medium) – A darker rose-colored lens which allows 40% available visible light to come through. This lens is used to enhance your environment on bright sunny days and reacts along the same principles as the light vermillion shade by sharpening the contrast of the target against green backgrounds.

Vermillion (Light) – This is a light colored lens allowing in about 70% of available visible light. The light filtration characteristics of this lens accentuate bright targets against a medium to dark background environment, such as trees. It is also an excellent lens to use when shooting in low or flat light conditions.

Optic Yellow – This lens allows 80% of available visible light. It is worn in hazy, foggy days or late afternoon as it will highlight the target with a better definition by blocking out much of the blue light.
