Why Airwear Lenses?

Airwear is the first lens to offer all the benefits that today’s eyeglass wearers need. They’re light, thin, scratch resistant and virtually unbreakable which means they are safe to wear. They also offer full UV protection.

Airwear lenses are ideal for all prescriptions and lifestyles, and they’re essential for children’s eyewear and for use as safety lenses. For those people with active lifestyles or higher prescriptions who desire comfort, protection, and performance in a thinner, lighter lens, Airwear is for you.

Ideal for all prescriptions and lifestyles

Lighter Lenses
Airwear’s polycarbonate is the lightest material used for eyeglass lenses. They are 30% lighter than standard plastic lenses so you'll hardly notice you're wearing them. They are more cosmetically appealing because they are lighter and thinner. In fact, Airwear lenses are so much lighter than standard plastic lenses that you’ll hardly notice you’re wearing them.
Thinner, Comfortable Lenses

Airwear is a “high-index” lens—which means thin, light, comfortable high-performance. Industry data suggests that most patients are attracted to a cosmetically appealing lens, yet many patients don’t receive lenses with these benefits.

Airwear lenses are very thin, giving you a stylish appearance even if you have a high prescription. The flat curve of the lens allows wearers to experience unsurpassed comfort and an enhanced cosmetic look.

Lens Profile

Virtually Unbreakable

Since Airwear lenses are virtually unbreakable they're suitable for all activities, whatever you do. Polycarbonate lenses are essential for safety in children’s eyewear and for sports and active lifestyles.

Upgrade to Airwear Lenses

Airwear lenses are lightweight, impact-resistant, and provide total protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. They are also compatible with Crizal and Crizal Alize, anti-reflective technology that makes lenses virtually disappear .

Airwear lenses are available in Varilux designs, the world's most advanced progressive lens. And Airwear is also available in Transitions lens technology, which allows lenses to stay indoors, but darken in the presence of UV light. The tint level of Transition lenses adjusts quickly as light conditions change to provide convenient protection from glare and 100% blockage of harmful UV rays. Virtually as clear as regular clear lenses indoors, and as dark as most sunglasses outside in bright light, Transition lenses provide maximum comfort and protection for your eyes.
