The yellow gradient tint to this lens amplifies color contrast to maximize visibility and enhance depth perception while on the road or under overcast skies. The upper dark grey area ensures high protection from direct sunlight exposure from above. In the same way that our pupils dilate according to the intensity of light, Hydrogen Firing Photochromic treatment allows them to darken once expose to ultraviolet rays, making them a must have for driving!

Not only are the frames handmade in Italy, these lightweight cellulose acetate frames bend to adapt shape without heating for a better fit. As a final treatment they are hand polished after being tumbled in beech and birch wood.

Final verdict, details matter and L.G.R. has brought forth a pair of sunglasses that embellish any outfit!
