  • Durability

Our mineral lenses provide 100% UV protection and are the only lenses in the world that absorb up to 94% of infrared rays, shielding your eyes from heat and dryness. They deliver a distortion-free visual experience, stand the test of time, and offer unparalleled sun protection in any environment. Explore our diverse range of lens technologies

Pure

Pure

Our mineral lenses are in their natural state.

They are available in various tints and offer all the benefits of mineral lens:

- Optimal optical clarity

- Durability

- Solar protection

Lynx™

Lynx™

The Lynx™ technology, a Vuarnet exclusive, is a bi-mirror treatment, darker at the top and bottom of the lens, applied to our mineral lenses.

The upper portion of the lens shields the eye from direct sunlight, while the lower portion protects against glare from light reflected off the ground, minimizing distracting reflections.

Polar

Polar

Our polarized lenses combine two technologies within our mineral lenses.

The polarizing filter blocks uncomfortable glare.

The NPE filter acts as a color enhancer.

These features reduce eye strain and amplify colors, revealing the relief and contrasts of your surroundings.

The addition of an oleophobic and hydrophobic treatment ensures your lenses remain clean in all conditions.

PolarLynx™

PolarLynx™

PolarLynx™ technology is the fusion of Polar and Lynx™ technologies within our mineral lenses.

By combining the benefits of Lynx™ (bi-gradient mirror treatment) with the anti-glare properties of polarization, PolarLynx™ ensures optimal optical comfort in various lighting conditions.

« The production of our mineral lenses is an art form. It takes two weeks and a seventeen-step process to produce a single pair of lenses. »

Each Vuarnet lens is engraved with the "V on ski" hallmark, guaranteeing its authenticity. They are handcrafted in France, in our Meaux manufacture, which has received the prestigious Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) label.

French Craftsmanship

A high
  • definition vision

Thanks to its natural purity, mineral glass guarantees a perfectly clear vision, free from distortion. As proof, cameras, microscopes, and telescopes, which demand high optical precision, are all equipped with mineral glass.

Exceptional
  • resistance

Unlike plastic lenses, our mineral lenses are naturally scratch-resistant. Even your keys in your bag will not scratch them. Mineral lens is not surface-tinted.

A responsible
  • production

We are committed to responsible production by choosing to produce lenses from glass rather than plastic. The lens is made from silica, making it 100% natural and 100% recyclable.
