Smith sunglasses are created under the belief that Status Quo is sub-par and vision is everything. The optics are aimed at improving people’s viewing experience whether they are riding a bike or a board or simply walking along the boardwalk bird watching. Smith wish you to think of their optics as eye upgrades.

One of the ways in which this is achieved is through the Tapered Lens Technology (TLT) that they have created in order to combat visual distortion. Visual distortion is occurring due to light waves hitting a lens which is aggressively curved lens – causing them to refract, which is turns causes a prismatic effect, otherwise known as distortion. This distortion is corrected by TLT as it progressively tapers the lens thickness from the centre of the lens towards the peripheral view. This allows the light waves to travel directly towards your eye in order to reduce potential eye fatigue and thus generate precise vision. This allows you to see objects as clearly defined and in their exact position.

A lot of people think that you get glare from reflective surfaces such as water and glass, but you also get glare from pavements, sand and almost every other flat surface. What glare does is to overload your retinas with too much information to deal with and this can eventually wear you out. The polarized lenses in Smith sunglasses can filter out this visual ‘noise’ allowing you to simply focus on the facts. The lenses are the world’s lightest as well as being distortion-free, giving you perfect protection and vision. The protection is 100% UVA/B and C and all of this is under the world’s best anti-scratch coating, giving you maximum durability and clear vision through a balance of real world requirements and science.

The Smith difference is that many makers of sunglasses try to forge a balance of functionality and style, but Smith have gone for 100% of both, and continues to take up that challenge every day.

As far as the frames are concerned, they are made in four different materials, Grilamid TR90, Handcrafted Acetate and Wire Frame Construction and Hydrophilic Megol. Grilamid TR90 offers maximum comfort with maximum flexibility and Maximum toughness and Maximum sunscreen and lotion resistance.
