Patent-pending ALTIUS Contact Lenses, the ultimate in performance eyewear, are superior to sunglasses in many respects.  With ALTIUS resting on the cornea and covering it entirely both optical and tint performance are maximized, not compromised as with sunglasses.  This provides a total immersion in the tint whereas sunglasses have distracting peripheral light leakage causing unwarranted glare and lens reflections, and hindering peripheral and binocular vision by the lens frame, temple arm and nose bridge.

Most sunglasses suppress the entire visible light spectrum equally, resulting in a dulling effect. ALTIUS lenses are engineered to filter specific wavelengths of light to reduce visual noise while accenting critical visual details, providing a comfortable perceived brightening effect.

Environmental factors such as fogging, scratching, sweat, rain and lens build-up which are all problematic in sunglasses are eliminated with ALTIUS by each eyelid blink.  Unlike sunglasses which often cause physical discomfort around the noise and ears, and often slide or get dislodged, once ALTIUS is applied you will forget they are on.
