Rene Gerber, Marketing Manager for Serengeti Canada, believes if customers are purchasing expensive sunglasses, they need to ensure they are buying premium frames and lenses with the latest lens technology. “Serengeti continues to promote the Polar PHD lens which offers stunning visual acuity and the utmost UVA/UVB protection but are lightweight and very comfortable,” Gerber said. “Serengeti now has ultra-light glass lenses, so you can still get that unparalleled view but without the weight of glass.” Gerber points to two features that add to the optical acuity of this brand: Spectral control and photochromic technology, an innovation Serengeti pioneered. 18 OPTICAL PRISM | MARCH 2014 “Spectral control works like a visual equalizer which selectively manages light waves so haze and glare is diminished and contrast is enhanced. This eliminates blue light, which also causes eye fatigue and your vision is sharper and crisper showing only true colours,” Gerber explains. “Photochromic technology is engineered into every Serengeti sunglass so the wearer can be assured of the optimal amount of light at all times thus eliminating eyestrain.” The bottom line is, today’s lens technology have made sunglasses more than just a fashion statement. With leading edge technology and uncompromising quality, sunglasses are an investment in eye health. And the future looks bright in the Canadian eyewear market. •
