Lens tint affects contrast, brightness, and color perception, which is why we carefully select ours to optimize your vision. Smoke provides neutral color balance, green enhances contrast and maintains natural tones, brown improves depth perception, and mirror coatings further reduce glare.

What is an ABBE value?
An ABBE value measures light dispersion through a material into colors. A higher ABBE value means less light dispersion, resulting in clearer and sharper vision. Our V52® lenses have the highest ABBE value for sports lenses on the market.
What is color filtration?
Copper, green and grey lenses attenuate peaks and troughs across the visible color spectrum, reducing wavelength overlap. This improves color separation and supports accurate color perception.

V52® Lens Coatings
Scratch resistant coating
V52® nylon polyamide lenses are particularly compatible with scratch resistant ‘hard’ coatings. This gives the dual benefit of anti-scratch lens properties, and a lower risk of delamination under heat or stress.
Hydro-oleophobic coating
V52® nylon polyamide lenses form an excellent base layer for these stacked coatings. The result is long-lasting oil and sweat resistance, and water repellency that out-performs other lens materials.
Polarization filter
VALLON’s polarization filter has a polar efficiency of 98-99%, making it one of the best and most efficient in the industry. The result is minimized glare, better contrast, and more vivid color vision.
Frequently Asked Questions
VALLON V52® lenses are high-quality nylon polyamide lenses, designed for both sports performance and everyday wear. They combine exceptional optical clarity, impact resistance, lightweight comfort, and advanced coatings for all-day use.
V52® lenses have an ABBE value of 52, which means they have exceptional clarity. The result in sharper vision, less color fringing, and reduced eye strain compared to most standard, and sports lenses.
The ABBE value measures how much a lens material disperses light into colors. A higher ABBE value means less chromatic aberration, resulting in sharper vision and reduced color fringing.
An ABBE value of 52 places VALLON V52® lenses in the high-clarity range (50–60), significantly outperforming standard polycarbonate and most nylon polyamide lenses used in sports eyewear.
Yes. All VALLON lenses provide 100% UVA and UVB (UV400) protection, helping protect your eyes and the surrounding skin from long-term sun damage.
Yes. V52® lenses are impact resistant and meet safety standards for sports eyewear, making them suitable for active use without sacrificing clarity or comfort. We recommend them for activities such as hiking, running, kayaking, climbing, sailing, and everyday active use.
VALLON offers both polarized and non-polarized V52® lens options. VALLON's polarized V52® lenses have a very high polar efficiency of 98–99%, which significantly reduces glare and improves contrast and visual comfort.
High-quality polarization reduces reflected glare, leading to less squinting, better contrast, more vivid colors, and reduced eye fatigue.
Yes. Reduced chromatic aberration, high clarity, high-quality polarization, and controlled color filtration all contribute to lower eye strain and long-lasting visual comfort.
VALLON uses copper (brown), green, and grey (smoke) tints. These reduce overlapping wavelengths in the visible spectrum, improving color separation and providing more natural, accurate contrast.
Yes. V52® lenses use scratch-resistant hard coatings that bond evenly to the nylon polyamide material, improving durability and reducing the risk of micro-cracks.
While glass (mineral) lenses offer very high clarity, they are heavy and can shatter on impact. V52® lenses provide near-glass clarity while being lighter, safer, and better suited to sports and active use.
Polycarbonate lenses are highly impact resistant, but typically have a low ABBE value (around 30–38), which can reduce sharpness and increase eye strain. V52® nylon polyamide lenses offer clearer vision, better color separation, reduced visual fatigue, and strong impact resistance.
Yes - V52® lenses are designed to bridge performance and lifestyle - offering comfort, durability, and clarity for both sports and daily use without sacrificing on style.
