LEARN MORE ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY
Is HYDROGLARE™ right for me?
This lens is designed to give your eyewear a longer life.
If you're hard on gear—especially around saltwater and sand—or just want the best value out of your eyewear, this lens is made to keep you going.
Are HYDROGLARE™ lenses polarized?
Yes, HYDROGLARE™ lenses are polarized.
You’re getting the glare reduction of a high-end polarizer with the added durability of our saltwater-resistant coating.
How does the "Corrosion-Resistant" layer work?
Unlike standard coatings applied to large sheets of material prior to shaping, HYDROGLARE™ lenses are fully shaped before our proprietary anti-corrosion hard-coat is applied.
This ensures 360°, edge-to-edge protection, preventing delamination and "bubbling" often caused by saltwater and sweat.
What is the benefit of a TAC core?
The TAC core is engineered for optical clarity, impact resistance, and weight reduction. While the lens is incredibly tough, it remains lightweight enough for all-day wear without causing fatigue or visual distortion.
How do I clean the lenses?
To prolong the life of your lenses, rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt or sand. Wash with a very mild soap if needed and dry only with a microfiber cloth or cleaning case. Avoid paper towels or abrasive fabrics.
EXPLORE THE LOOK
For the final push to the summit of Kilimanjaro, clarity of vision is everything. On my recent climb, I used the Staunton optic nerve glasses, and they were a game-changer. The extreme cold and high altitude can blur your vision and cause severe strain, but these glasses were designed to combat exactly that.
Throughout the night and into the sunrise, they provided exceptional clarity, reducing eye fatigue and allowing me to focus on every step. They were lightweight and comfortable, a small but critical detail when every ounce of energy counts. In such a demanding environment, gear that performs as promised is invaluable, and these glasses delivered.
I would highly recommend them to any serious mountaineer preparing for a high-altitude summit
I have been a beach bum for 60+ years. I bought a pair of your Old Salt model sunglasses a few years ago and love them. I recently let my wife try them on at the beach one day and she could not believe how great they where! She did not want to give them back! So I bought 2 pairs of these very similar Saugton model sunglasses for both of us. Both of us feel these may be the best sunglasses we have ever owned at any price!
Small problem with my Staunton glasses the ear piece screws back out often from opening and closing them and I’m afraid to tighten them too much. I do like the glasses!
I've officially made the switch to Optic Nerve for all my tournament bass fishing needs! The quality from my previous eyewear brand (Costa) had noticeably declined over the years, so it was time for a change. The Staunton glasses from Optic Nerve have been a game-changer—they’ve not only replaced my old, falling-apart pairs but also exceeded my expectations in clarity and durability
I have been an avid Costa sunglasses wearer for over 15 years, however their quality has gone down significantly, while prices continue to increase.
As a tournament bass fisherman, great quality polarized sunglasses are crucial. I took the leap and purchased several lens/frame combinations as I wanted to make the switch from Costa. I found that the Optic Nerve line of polarized lenses are just as good if not better than the Costas for a fraction of the price! I found these frames and they have become a favorite for me, almost directly replacing the Costa Reefton. Give them a try!!
