As an alternative to the Hard Coating, Elvex offers a Hard Anti-Fog Coating (SuperCoat™) for several safety glass models. The SuperCoat Anti-Fog Coated lens offers four way protection: Anti-Scratch, Anti-Fog, UV and Anti-Static.

Elvex Amber (yellow) Polycarbonate lens provides increased contrast on gray or overcast days. The blue light filtration makes it easier for the eye to focus in less than perfect lighting conditions.

Elvex Indoor/Outdoor lens is designed to allow adequate visible light for indoor applications, while providing protection against bright light when moving from an indoor environment to an outdoor environment.

The light brown and ice blue lenses provide glare reduction and a reduction of visible light transmission. They are viable alternatives to the Indoor/Outdoor lenses.

Elvex NCB™ Gray lens offers glare reduction and filtration of light without distorting the color vision. All colors remain easily recognizable. NCB stands for "Natural Color Balance".

The Brown lens is a viable alternative to the Gray NCB lens. It allows full color comprehension, while it filters out 90% of blue light. This feature is found on many sun glass lenses called blue blockers.

All lenses are not offered in all frame styles. Please see chart above for availability.
