Sporoptic Poilloux Optical S.A. created the original Vuarnet lens for skier, Jean Vuarnet, to enhance contrast and increase depth perception while skiing. In 1960 he won the Olympic Gold Medal in the men's downhill, and the lens that was known as the Vuarnet Skilynx became legendary.

Known as the originator of sport specific eyewear, Vuarnet has remained on the cutting edge of lens technology by pioneering performance optics for use in every activity from skiing and mountaineering to surfing and boating. For athletes whose sports require the highest optical precision, Vuarnet's ground and polished glass lenses have no equal. Look for the "Ski and V" symbol of authenticity inscribed on every Vuarnet lens. Vuarnet tries to focus on quality, so you can focus on where you're going.

All of Vuarnet's lenses are made from the finest quality optical mineral glass for the highest clarity. Vuarnet lenses have 100% protection against ultraviolet radiation, UVA, UVB, UVC, visible radiation (glare), and harmful blue light. So you've got eight lenses to choose from in order to have the highest level of vision. Choose from the PX-2000 lens, PX-2000(polarized), PX-3000, PX-3000(polarized), PX-5000, Lynx lens, Skilynx lens, and Unilynx lens.

  * PX- 2000(polarized) : *

A versatile and multi-use lens that more evenly balances the transmittance of light, allowing a bit of violet and blue light through for better color renditions, while still blocking the harmful rays. *The polarized PX-2000 offers all the same features but reduces the glare for eye comfort and better vision.

  * PX- 3000(polarized) : *

A true color lens that allows a relatively even transmission of the visible light spectrum for "true-color" rendition, ideal for urban life, driving, and everyday use. *The polarized PX-3000 lens simply adds the comfort and effective glare reduction for eye comfort and better vision.

  * PX- 5000(polarized) : *

This ultr-protective lens allows for the lowest visible light transmission , making it the ultimate for extreme glare and high altitude conditions. It blocks heat-causing infrared rays, reducing eye strain.

  * Lynx *

This ultra-luminous yellow lens provides exceptional contrast enhancement and increased depth perception in poor light conditions.
