Optic Nerve V12

Usually you have to choose between max coverage and visual clarity in shades. The V12 offers both.

Brand: Optic Nerve

Model: V12


Usually you have to choose between max coverage and visual clarity in shades. But the V12 offers both because of toric lenses, which have different horizontal and vertical curves. They wrap closely around the face (with what’s called an 8 base curve; a higher number means more curve) for coverage, while the vertical plane is nearly flat (4 base curve) for clarity. Plus, we experienced no peripheral distortion, thanks to the tapered edges. Bummer: Toric lenses aren’t RX-compatible. $99; .7 oz.; opticnerve.com
