Active eyewear

Rapidly changing light conditions are part of road cycling and can be dangerous as photochromics lenses take time to adjust and wearers experience sub-optimal vision. To combat this, Evil Eye’s new E-Sense Next sports sunglass benefits from LST eVario. This lens technology combines an LCD module and a photovoltaic cell connected to the filter shield of the frame. The photovoltaic cell supplies the LCD module with power and uses the light intensity to determine the level of tinting. If light falls onto the solar cell, the filter shield becomes progressively darker – within only 0.6 seconds. 

Application tests by Evil Eye have shown that this time interval is perceived as optimal for tinting the filter shield of athletes. The transition from light to dark is said to occur so smoothly that it is barely noticeable to the eye, demonstrating how the technology has been fine-tuned to provide a natural and comfortable experience. The tinting spectrum of the e-sense next ranges from Category 1 to 3.
