What is ARC technology?
All of our high wrap frames use our ARC lenses. ARC stands for Accurate Radius Curvature. The lens is thicker at the optical center and thins out toward the edges of the lens. We use this technology because when light waves from the sun hit an aggressively curved standard sunglass lens, the light refracts causing distortion, which reduces optical clarity, causing distorted vision and/or headaches. Spy’s ARC lenses overcome this potentially dangerous problem by tapering the thickness of the lens towards the outer edge, thus allowing light waves to be delivered to the eye with no refraction or distortion. This results in unprecedented optical clarity.
