WHAT IS MELANIN?

Melanin is the naturally occurring pigment found throughout the human body. Its role is to protect us against sunlight damage, by filtering Ultraviolet (UV) and High Energy Visible (HEV) light, better known as “Violet-Blue Light.” Melanin is in fact the best natural defense against the harmful effects of the sun.

MELANIN IN LENSES

TAVAT’s sunglass lenses are infused with a synthetic melanin to provide the ultimate in eye protection, improving clarity, enhancing contrast, without any color distortion.

TAVAT’s sunglass lenses are inspired by the natural defenses of the human body against the sun. The synthetic melanin acts in the same way as natural melanin, just like a shield against both UV rays and up to 97% of the harmful violet-blue light (HEV). It’s as if you are applying the equivalent of SPF 140 to your skin. This means higher protection and better performance at the same time.

The differences between regular sunglass lenses and Polarized sunglass lenses are known.

TAVAT offers both types of lenses, specific to performance needs, but ALL with the addition of melanin.

Melanin makes the difference.

WHAT IS VIOLET-BLUE (HEV) LIGHT?

It is the highest-energy visible light, commonly referred to as “poison-to-the-eye!”

WHY?

Violet-Blue Light is believed, by experts, to increase the risk of macular degeneration.

All sunglass lenses reduce to some extent the light entering the eyes, however only MELANIN takes out the bulk of the HEV light whilst preserving color integrity, improving definition and protecting the eye for the long term effects of damage due to HEV light hitting the retina.
