We all know the feeling: suddenly your view is limited and obstructed due to rapidly changing light conditions. However, perfect vision is crucial. Only with good visibility do you have a situation under control. Good visibility often determines success or failure, and in extreme situations, even life and death. All the situations described have one thing in common, they arise because the human eye cannot adapt quickly to changing lighting conditions. Is it still appropriate to protect oneself with conventional sunglasses in these dynamic and fast-paced times? The optrel sports development team says no.

The new optray sunglasses from optrel sports, with the unique ShadeTronic® Technology, are made for outdoor enthusiasts. The high-tech sunglasses are never too dark and never too bright. Thanks to intelligent sensor technology, they continuously adapt to changing light conditions in a fraction of a second. This guarantees the best view and your full control over the situation.

OVER THREE DECADES OF KNOW-HOW COMBINED IN A WORLD FIRST

Wattwil-based optrel sports ag is part of the internationally active Swiss technology company optrel group. The spirit of invention is deeply rooted in optrel’s corporate philosophy. More than 35 years ago, the company invented the first automatically dimming welding helmet based on liquid crystal displays and is still considered the technology leader in this market segment. Since then, millions of welders and employees in the metalworking industry have entrusted their eyesight to optrel and appreciate – in addition to the highest level of safety – the incomparable wearing comfort, design and high functionality of optrel products.

The new optray sunglasses with patented ShadeTronic® Technology combine more than three decades of know-how in the fields of liquid crystal displays, sensor technology and ultra-low-power electronics. The optrel ShadeTronic® sunglasses are the world’s first and represent the logical extension of the optrel product line.

BEWARE OF CONFUSION: NOT ALL SELF-TINTING IS THE SAME    

The first so-called photochromic lenses appeared on the market as early as the 1960s. Molecules incorporated into the lenses trigger a chemical reaction through UV radiation, which causes the lenses to darken. The problem with photochromic lenses, however, is that the reaction time from light to dark takes up to one minute and from dark to light up to ten minutes. Many customers are then disappointed after buying photochromic glasses, because in many cases it is still necessary to change your glasses. In addition, these glasses do not work in the car, because the UV light is blocked by the windshield.
