Three factors come into play in order to pick the right lens for the application at hand: colors, treatments and shapes.

How to choose the right lenses for sport sunglasses

Our eyesight plays a fundamental role in how we see the world around us. With our eyes we look, we examine, we understand, we get excited, we love. Its importance must not be underestimated when it comes to sports. For outdoor sports, protecting our eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays is essential. But we also need to protect our eyes from other external agents.

Lens Thickness

The material selected for a lens is fundamental, as it determines both comfort and clarity of vision.

Can clear lenses protect us from UV rays?

Nowadays, there is widespread awareness of the dangers of direct exposure of our eyes to sunlight. This is why we often hear about glasses with UV protection in their lenses.

UV and Blue light protection

Nowadays, there is widespread awareness of the dangers of direct exposure of our eyes to sunlight. This is why we often hear about glasses with UV protection in their lenses. When we are exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time, we risk damage to the eyes in the form of disorders such as cataracts, macular degeneration, pinguecula, keratoconjunctivitis and photokeratitis, which, in the most severe cases, can lead to temporary loss of vision. By definition, sunglasses are designed to protect us from harmful solar radiation, but it must be said that not all types of sunglasses are fitted with lenses that block 100% of UV radiation.

How are the lenses for your glasses made?

At Divel Italia, we have recently installed new equipment at our Milan production lab to further strengthen our production of prescription lenses.

The categories of sun lenses

The category of the lens depends on a value called Visible Light Transmission (VLT) or Tv (transmittance value). This is a measure of how much light the lens lets your eyes pass through and is expressed as a percentage.

When we talk about categories of sun lenses, we refer to the percentage % of light that reaches the eye when it passes through a lens.

Divel Italia logo's evolution.

Why a new logo? For this reason we have decided to make a further restyling of the Divel logo.We have separated the two elements: pictogram and logotype. The pictogram, currently registered all over the world, has been perfected in the lines so as to make it legible at any size.The logotype changes the font, opting for a sans serif, more linear and contemporary.In the logo, Divel has been inserted in bold, to affirm the identity of the company, called by its customers in the common language, in the abbreviated version “Divel”. However, the word Italy remained in the logo, so as not to lose the patriotic characteristic, which allows us to proudly spread our products abroad.

We observe how the world changes and we move with it.

Fitness for the eyes: an introduction to orthoptics

Vision training? Fitness for the eyes? Our eyes are supported by a fairly complex set of muscles, so it is actually normal that these muscles need to be kept in shape.

Why choose a photochromic corrective lens?

How and when to use photochromic corrective lenses

How do they work? And when is the best time to use them? What’s better, photochromic or polarized?

Summer is on our doorstep, and the sun is shining for longer! It’s important to protect our eyes from sunlight. With photochromic corrective lenses, the lens adapts to changes in lighting conditions. But how do they work? When exposed to UV radiation, such as sunlight, photochromic corrective lenses undergo a reversible chemical reaction that causes them to darken. When no longer exposed to UV light, they gradually return to their initial state of transparency.

This spring's fashion colors for eyewear

The degradé effect is also back this year, featuring delicate, gradual gradients in a dynamic range of colors.

This year will be overflowing with dynamic colors, such as vibrant yellow and bright green, contrasted against an intense navy blue or sophisticated violet.

The functional coatings

Lens coatings serve to protect both the lenses and the person wearing them. By blocking certain types of light as they pass through the lens, we can enhance lenses in terms of look, vision, and overall quality.
