Cosmos Amber (night riding) sunglasses

Eye damage linked to UV includes cataract, a condition where the eye lens becomes opaque so light can't get through. UV is also linked to photokeratitis (sunburn of the cornea), pterygium (tissue growth that can block vision), and macular degeneration (damage to the part of the inner eye that receives light patterns and transmits them to the brain).

UV400 coating

Protect your eyes from UVA and UVB. You can be blinded by what you can't see. An invisible form of radiation, UV rays pelt your retinas at 186,000 miles per second. Opttix sunglasses blocks 100% of UVA & UVB. The protection is through a scratch resistant thin surface coating.

ANSI Z87.1

Opttix eyewear surpasses the protection requirements for high-mass impact, as defined by The American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Part of an industrial standard called ANSI Z87.1, the high-mass impact test requires that the lens be hit by a 500-gram metal spike (over a pound of weight) dropped from a height of 51.2 inches (over four feet). To pass the test, no frame parts or lens fragments that could damage the eye may be ejected during impact.
