CAPTIVATE™
Are you looking for lenses that protect your eyes from intense sunlight while providing the same color experience as you would have without sunglasses? Then the grey CAPTIVATE™ lenses are an excellent choice. These lenses support homogeneous light transmission to your eyes by balancing the visible light spectrum. This keeps colors neutral, with the exception of green tones, which are enhanced. The ideal everyday choice for those who prefer a natural emphasis on colors and contrasts.

100% UVA/UVB protection
UV rays can damage not only the skin but also your vision. If eyes are exposed to the sun, long and intense radiation can lead to infections of the conjunctiva or cornea. For this reason, it is important to wear sunglasses and eyewear with UV protection. All of our lenses provide 100% protection against UVA/UVB rays so that you are shielded from harmful rays that can lead to permanent eye damage.

Anti-reflective coating
An anti-reflective coating prevents irritating and distracting light reflections on the back of your lenses and ensures that light does not reflect back into your eyes and distort your vision. Lenses with an anti-reflective coating reduce blur and reflected images on the back of the lenses, ensuring not only added comfort and visual clarity, but also guaranteeing optimal conditions under which your polarized filters can perform at their peak.

Oleophobic coating
An oleophobic coating is a finish that protects against contaminants such as smudges. This coating gives the lenses a much smoother surface, which prevents dust, oil, dirt, and water from adhering to them. Ultimately, it prevents streaks and water spots on your lenses, making them much easier to clean and ensuring you have a clean surface for longer.

T-Shell™ hard coat
All Wiley X glasses are finished with our scratch-resistant T-Shell™ hard coat, which protects your eyewear from damage and extends its lifespan. With Wiley X, you receive not only eyewear made from high-quality material (polycarbonate), but also eyewear finished with a high-quality coating that guarantees the durability of your glasses.

Shatterproof Selenite™ polycarbonate lenses
All Wiley X glasses come with our shatterproof Selenite™ polycarbonate lenses. This material is exceptionally durable and resistant, and we use it to ensure our glasses pass the many tests we put them through. This is how we guarantee you eyewear certified to the highest optical safety standards.

Triloid™ nylon frame
Triloid™ nylon is the strongest non-metallic material on the global market. It ensures not only excellent comfort and low weight, but is also extremely resilient. Thanks to this highly resistant material, the WX glasses withstand the rigorous safety tests to which we subject them for certification. Although the material feels very light and somewhat like plastic, Triloid™ nylon is much stronger and of higher quality.

Suitable for prescription lenses
Upon request, the glasses can be made with prescription lenses so that they meet your optical needs. If you require prescription lenses, please contact a Wiley X optician near you. They can help you equip your WX glasses with prescription lenses, depending on which Wiley X eyewear you have, either with direct-in prescription lenses or with a prescription insert.
