Zeal Optics Sunglasses

September 23, 2010 By: Alex Cerveniak

Zeal Optics will offer several new frame designs in their PPX series for 2011.  The NXT PPX lens is both polarized and photochromatic.  The shatter-proof lens is made from ballistic material and blocks 100 percent of harmful UV rays.

They also have a new lens model in their CB-13 series.  The CB-13 lens color is the culmination of years of R&D by Zeal to find the perfect lens color, designed to soothe eyes, enhance vision and allow your eyes to adjust to constantly changing light conditions. It provides an optimum blend of contrast, clarity and light transmission for all-day optical comfort.
