Tajima Lens Technology

The World's Sharpest Polarized & Prescription Lenses

Lens Material

Patented Tajima Urethane™:

  • Our patented urethane lens material is not polycarbonate, nylon, CR-39, or glass.
  • It is a patented and proprietary urethane polarized lens composition made in our lens making factory in Tajima, Japan.
  • It is the first non-comprising polarized lens material featuring the superior optical clarity of glass, and hi-mass impact resistance and light weight of polycarbonate.

Benefits Include:

  • Superior optical clarity
  • Scores a perfect 40 lines of resolution in optical lab testing (the highest possible score for optical clarity) - glass is the only other lens material with a perfect score of 40
  • 5x greater scratch resistance than polycarbonate and nylon
  • Hi velocity / hi mass impact resistant and shatterproof
  • Superior tensile strength to any lens material preventing creep or cracking
  • Lightest weight polarized lens material on the market
  • Zero distortion
  • 99% polarizing efficiency (maximum)
  • 100% UV protection (A,B,C)

Custom Lens Cutting

Our Advanced Digital Equipment Allows Us To:

  • Custom cut lenses to any frame shape, no matter the shape, curvature, or frame design

How Does It Work?:

  • Our advanced digital equipment traces your frame shape
  • Then cuts your new lenses to that exact shape
  • Ensuring a perfect fit to your frames, every time!

Rx Lens Designs & Technology

*Only Applicable to Prescription Lens Products*

Digital Free Form Surfacing & Advanced Lens Design Optimization:

  • Our digital free form lens designs are the latest in lens personalization technology.
  • Our designs use state-of-the-art technology for calculating, designing, and cutting customized ophthalmic lenses while minimizing and eliminating oblique aberrations (blurry spots) when moving your focus through the lens, while optimizing the lenses to the individual data of each wearer.

Benefits Include:

  • Greatest lens personalization and accuracy
  • Widest field of vision with perfect vision across the entire lens
  • Easy adaptability and optimal comfort
  • Sharpest optics possible
