OutdoorHub 02.03.14
As a leading innovator of premium protective eyewear for military, occupational and recreational use, Wiley X has now moved far beyond simply offering Rxable eyewear. A precision prescription digital lens technology developed by Wiley X – DIGIFORCE – is now being offered to provide superior vision to a wide variety of wearers in various wearing conditions.
New DIGIFORCE digital Rx lenses have been designed specifically for Wiley X’s 8-base wrap frames. These lenses increase and optimize the field of vision in all directions. DIGIFORCE lenses also provide a more significant reading zone and crisper, clearer optics. They enhance visual clarity, color contrast and depth perception and are perfect for any activity including motorcycle riding, hiking, hunting and while on the job. This is in keeping with the active, outdoor lifestyles enjoyed by those who wear Wiley X sunglasses.
DIGIFORCE digital lens technology allows Wiley X to completely customize each prescription to the wearer’s lifestyle and frame fit resulting in amazing prescription accuracy and clarity. Standard Rx lens designs in Wiley X 8-base wrap frames can cause peripheral distortion, commonly referred to as the “fishbowl effect.” DIGIFORCE point by point digital lens mapping delivers enhanced visual clarity and color contrast while minimizing distortion.
DIGIFORCE lenses matched with Wiley X frames allow the wearer’s personalized vision needs to be met. By accounting for various measurements including pantoscopic tilt, wrap angle, vertex distance and more, DIGIFORCE delivers truly personalized free form lenses. These intricate measurements are even more important to wrap style frames and higher prescription ranges.
DIGIFORCE gives Wiley X prescription wearers personalized eyewear for their unique viewing angles and frame measurements, improving the perceived prescription results as the wearer moves their eyes around the lens. As a result, wearers will enjoy the widest possible vision zones, smoother transition through the corridor, and minimized oblique astigmatism.
When combining this new level of prescription lens performance with the advanced vision protection Wiley X is known for, absolute premium protection is achieved for the way people work, play and live. Every pair of Wiley X frames meets stringent ANSI Z87.1 High Velocity and High Mass Impact Safety standards, providing occupational grade protection for all wearers and a wide range of activities. Wiley X is the only premium performance sunglass brand with this level of vision protection in every pair of eyewear it makes. This is a major reason why Wiley X is a leading provider of protective eyewear systems to U.S. military, law enforcement and other tactical wearers around the world.
