Wescan Optical adds a sunwear collection to its Evatik men’s ophthalmic line introduced in 2010. Targeted to sophisticated urban men, the initial collection consists of 18 styles in stainless steel and acetate, with diverse eye shapes ranging from the modern rectangle to vintage aviators. Intricate temple detailing and two-toned colorations lend a masculine elegance. Inspired by fashion and performance, Evatik sunglasses blend modern, masculine designs with superior lens capabilities. All lenses are six-base, Rxable and available with CR-39 and polarized options. The lenses have hydrophobic, scratch-resistant and backside, seven-layer anti-reflective coatings, and offer 100 percent UVA and UVB protection. Additionally, an innovative cast-in technology creates a structurally stronger, longer-lasting lens.
