Five intricate manual steps are needed for this process. Interestingly, Victorflex is shown to it’s full potential, giving a glimpse of the steel through the acetate, on the patented dappled color Persol frames.
These crystal lenses have both a polarized filter and a photochromic filter. The polarized filter blocks glare and provides crystal clear vision, while the photochromic filter darkens the color of the lens according to the amount of incoming light to ensure clearer vision in multiple conditions.
