99% of our lenses are CR39, a modern, impact-resistant material used across most luxury eyewear today. Our multi-flash lenses are made from nylon, offering excellent clarity and full UVA and UVB protection. Some frames may still feature their original vintage lenses, which will be stated in the product description.

See all our custom UV lensing options for vintage frames here.

All lenses filter UVA and UVB light rays up to 400 nanometres, providing complete everyday retinal protection.
