Ultraviolet (UV) and Infrared (IR) protection is essential to preserve the health and well-being of the eye.
All lenses are strictly UV400, even the lightest ones, to offer superior UV 100% protection. To ensure complete visual comfort, all the lenses of the collection also come with multilayer anti-reflection treatment and hydrophobic and oleophobic treatment.
Platinum Glass™
Il Platinum Glass™ is a precious optical glass. The oxide mixture is merged into special precision optic furnaces and refined through a pure platinum column to obtain a glass lens free of any impurities.
Some minerals, called Rare Earths, are also added during the casting, which allow to improve the visual contrast, acting as a chromatic equalizer.
Glass
Optical glass is the material that ensures the best possible vision thanks to the geometric perfection of the lens and its crystalline purity and the ability to keep these characteristics unchanged over time.
Barberini’s research and technological development has further improved the performance of glass lenses by overcoming the traditional weight and strength limits due to reduced thickness and hardening processes.
