BZ Optics have only just entered the marine industry after their success in the cycling market. BZ specialise in lightweight sports frames fitted with photochromic lensed (with and without readers) But at METS they introduced the lightweight frame fitted with polarised lenses with and without readers. Later this year they will expand the range to include High Definition photochromic polarised lenses with and without readers.
Polarised photochromic lenses are Cat1 in low light (about 15% dark) and once exposed to sunlight and UV they darken to Cat3 (around 75% dark) while the polarisation cuts down on reflected glare.
