Rudy Project
Rudy Project Lens Information
Always at the peak of technology, our lenses provide optical clarity and physical protection for the eye. Perfect for all those who participate in sports.
Solar Radiation and Eye Care: Light is an electromagnetic ray characterized by its wave length and measured in nanometers (1 nm=1/1,000,000 of a mm). The ultraviolet rays (UVA, B and C) are the most dangerous rays for our eyes. Our lenses absorb all the ultraviolet rays: the residual transmission is less that 0.001% up to the 385nm (the wave length at which the visible spectrum begins). The lens receives an application of metal ions of chrome or silicon oxide, calculated in such a way as to provide a precise absorption factor.
RP Optics (Advanced Performance Lens Technology): Injected at a pressure that can reach 800 bar, the RP Optics™ lens is a afocal lens for unsurpassed visual acuity, scratch and UV protection. The optical power, astigmatism, prism, definition, and cosmetic quality of material and surface of the lens have characteristics equivalent to or better than the international regulations relative to prescription lenses.
Anti-Scratch Treatment: Treated by coating with polyxilosane, the lenses that is hardened by exposure to heat at 120°C. This specific treatment give it excellent resistance to abrasion and scratching.
Polarized: Polycarbonate lenses: Lightweight and more impact resistant than glass lenses. The polarizing film cuts through glare and harsh sun reflections, enabling wearers to see clearly in bright light conditions and minimize eye fatigue. Available in gray and brown, they transmit 22% of visible light. Perfect for surfers, anglers, boaters and sun-worshipers.
RP-D-Centered™: The optical axis is maintained parallel to the main axis of vision, permitting maximum utilization of lenses with extensive curvature (basis 6-8), respecting the need of optical quality and visual clarity.
ImpactX Lens Technology
Since the development of CR-39 and polycarbonate over 40 years ago, there have been few advances and innovations in high impact-resistant optical polymer development. NXT® is a family of patented polyurethane optical polymers, transparent and virtually unbreakable, originally developed for the military to provide superior protection and performance. NXT was born in the USA in the early 1990's when the US Government contracted Simula Technologies to develop bullet proof, transparent, and light weight material capable of providing superior protection, reliability and longer lasting performance than polycarbonate. This material is also used in the windows in post Sept. 11 cockpit doors being installed on airplanes and Apache helicopter windshields panels; it is today available for Rudy Project Technically cool eyewear under a unique and unparalleled lens program: ImpactX. ImpactX represents today the most advanced technological solution in the field of vision protection. Thanks to their transparency and superior optical quality, lenses made in NXT ensure sharp vision and unbeatable comfort: they are made by casting, a process which ensures lower internal stress, higher optical homogeneity and mechanical stability compared to traditional polycarbonate.
Why ImpactX:
1. Guaranteed unbreakable for life: ImpactX NXT is stronger than any other lens material, guaranteed not to break or crack, even in complex rimless frames. ImpactX NXT impact resistance is higher than polycarbonate and passes all impact resistance standards.
2. Superior Optics: ImpactX NXT has lower refractive index, internal stress and chromatic dispersion than polycarbonate, resulting in sharper images, higher definition, reduces "rainbowing", and more visual comfort.
3. Superior Anti-Scratch Properties: ImpactX NXT lenses feature a superior Quartz scratch resistant antistatic coatings, which doesn't attract dust.
4. Lightweight: ImpactX NXT is 20% lighter than CR-39 and 10% lighter than polycarbonate.
5. Exclusive Semi-Rigid Platform: Tailor made ImpactX NXT formula for superior safety and unparalleled protection.
6. Cutting Edge Photochromic and Polarized Technology: Enhanced visual acuity for any climatic conditions.

Laser Lenses: The metal oxide "Mirror" coating in a variety of shades, transmits only 12% of the light, making these lenses ideal for very sunny days with strong reflected light (beach, snow or on the water). Polycarbonate lenses. Color of mirror is cosmetic. Laser Blue and Silver are over Smoke based lens (see below) or Flash Gold and Copper are over Brown based lens (see below) Good for: cycling, running, skiing, baseball, soccer and more. Laser Deg/Bi Chromic series have a partial "laser" mirror coating. The gradient density (darker at top than bottom) is perfect for variable weather (cloudy to sunny) Light transmission: 40 to 92% Multi Laser: multi color mirror that changes color depending on how the light is reflected off the lens (twist and see different colors). Base color smoke except on ML Orange (brown base). (mirror color cosmetic).
