TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Protection

Eye protection from the sun is very important in the prevention of cumulative long-term eye damage. It is critical that eye protection be successful in blocking out 100% of all UV-A and UV-B light, without distortion, to prevent permanent Retina problems and Cataracts.

Safety

All Dragon products are designed with safety and durability in mind. Only the highest quality frame materials are used to ensure a bio-technical, symbiotic relationship with the wearer. Our optics also provided an important safety barrier, by providing an impenetrable shield for harmful UV Radiation and the reduction of glare. For added safety on all of our nylon frames, the optics are front-loaded into the lens channel of the frame using a custom mounting process available only from Dragon. This technological design feature renders it impossible for the lens to pass through the frame and into your eye. This, coupled with shatter-proof lens material, allows Dragon to offer the maximum in eye protection.

Lenses

Dragon's low-molecular weight Carbon based lenses are not only optically true, they block just about anything you can throw at them, including 100% of all harmful UV and Blue Light. All Dragon products are available in polycarbonate lenses only. This provides a light-weight comfort and safety for the wearer from impact or shattering. Our lenses are available in a variety of lens tints and values, giving the wearer the ability to choose the light transmission that best suits them without compromising color rendition or composition.

Frames

Of course, we can't ignore the technology that holds our lenses in place: our frames. Like you'd expect, the technology is as leading-edge as our lenses. Dragon nylon frames are forged from the highest grade super-polymer materials known to man. These Micro-Venomite polymers unite in perfect balance to provide ultimate strength and flexibility with virtually no weight to the wearer. Our metal frames are individually machine forged of the purest steel or titanium to ensure strength and quality. Variable Configuration Geometry� (VCG)�

All Dragon frames are armed with our exclusive VCG� technology. A design process that gives you crystal-clear, no-distortion vision at any point of view through the lens curve. While you might think Dragon's Bio-Enhanced design curves may warp out your vision, nothing could be further from the truth. That's because Dragon Engineers set the lenses in the "true" position for ultimate clarity and create the frame around them.

Polarized

Light waves from the sun vibrate and radiate outward in all directions. Whether the light is transmitted, reflected, scattered or refracted, when its vibrations are aligned into one or more planes of direction, the light is said to be polarized. The Dragon polycarbonate polarized lens is designed to enhance and sharpen objects and to saturate natural color rendition. This is achieved by screening out direct light and eliminating polarized light from your surroundings, thus allowing your eyes to dilate and view objects and colors more richly and clearly without being too dark.

Rx Adaptability All Dragon sunglasses are designed to be optically "true" and prescription adaptable. When corrective lenses are necessary, Dragon's exclusive VCG� frame technology gives you a safe, light weight corrective alternative. Read More
