TORRANCE, Calif.--Younger Optics is expanding the availability of its new line of Drivewear lenses with the addition of Image progressives.

The Drivewear Imageprogressive lens from Younger Optics combines Transitions photochromic technology with Younger’s NuPolar polarization.

“Since we released Drivewear lenses, the number-one product request has been for a progressive. We are pleased to fulfill that request with the new Drivewear Image progressive,” said David Rips, president and CEO of Younger Optics.

The Image progressive has been rated favorably among recent independent studies. This is in part because Image offers one of the widest distortion-free distance zones in the industry, a key advantage for the driving task. From the dashboard to the road ahead, Image provides clear viewing at near, far and intermediate distances, according to Younger. The lens can accommodate Rx ranges of -8.00 to +6.00D, with 1.00 - 3.00 add powers.

Drivewear lenses combine Transitions photochromic technology and Younger’s NuPolar polarization. De­signed specifically to meet the unique visual demands of the driving task, Drivewear is the first polarized photochromic lens to darken behind the windshield of a car which allows Drivewear lenses to change color based on current driving conditions in order to enhance the driver’s vision.  In addition, Drivewear lenses are polarized to block blinding glare, another essential attribute when driving a car.
