How ChromaPop™ Works ChromaPop™ improves our natural color recognition and gives us an experience that we cannot get on our own. It filters light waves to enhance definition, color and brightness for a crisper visual experience. It allows us to see color in a truer form.

Ride, run, ski, hike, fish or sail, the thrill is grounded in the visual experience. ChromaPop™ defines subtle features in the snow, so you can anticipate changes in conditions. It increases definition on rocky trails, so you can choose the best line. It reduces eye fatigue over long days on the water, so your eyes stay sharp longer.

Why ChromaPop™ Matters ChromaPop™ literally enhances the visual experience by creating a more vibrant world with increased visual definition.

SMITH is one of the few players in the eyewear market with proprietary color enhancing lens technology. ChromaPop™ was developed and patented by SMITH and sets SMITH sunglasses and goggles apart from the competition.

Standard sunglass lenses simply darken your field of view, creating a dulling effect on your vision. In contrast, ChromaPop™ lenses filter specific light waves to maximize your view, offering more definition and brighter, crisper, truer colors.

10

Our eyes have trouble perceiving color where the blue and green and red and green light wavelengths crossover. This results in reduced definition and clarity in our vision.

ChromaPop™ lens technology works with each lens tint to filter these specific color crossovers, allowing us to see greater definition, have better depth perception, see truer colors and experience increased clarity.

Which ChromaPop™ lens is right for you?

VLT - VISIBLE LIGHT TRANSMISSION The VLT rating on SMITH lenses shows how much light passes through them. The higher the VLT rating, the more light comes through that lens. Lower VLT rated lenses are good for bright, sunny days, whereas higher rated lenses are best in cloudy or low light situations.

Progressive Lens Technology SMITH Rx Progressive lenses are designed for peak visual performance outdoors, in dynamic and fast-moving environments. SMITH Progressive lenses have an expanded distance zone and superb dynamic vision.

Advanced digital technology ensures the widest possible visual fields, minimizes peripheral distortions, and virtually eliminates swim effect. The lens can be optimized for any frame, including very wide or wrap styles, without compromising vision quality.

Benefits • Extra-wide distance visual field • Precise and comfortable focus in any direction of gaze • Near elimination of peripheral blur • Smooth transition between visual fields • Superior visual quality for viewing digital devices • Higher image stability for greatly reduced swim effect • Adapts to the customer’s chosen frame

Measurements Please provide MPD and Fitting Height. The design uses pre-set values for Wrap Tilt, Back Vertex Distance and Pantoscopic Angle.

Dispensing Guide

State Of The Art Digital Surfacing Technology Our digital progressive lenses are created in our own optical laboratory using the latest in lens optimization technology.

Ray Tracing

Focus Profiling

Precise vision at every distance and in any gaze direction Digital ray-tracing technology ensures that the customer perceives the correct prescribed power not only when looking through the center of the lens but also when looking away or to the side.

Maximum clear viewing area The lens calculation also considers the eyes’ own focusing ability (accommodation). Even when this is reduced, as in presbyopic patients, the intelligent use of the remaining power enables wider zones of optical clarity and reduced peripheral blur.

Together, these technologies deliver a highperformance customized lens that is perfect for our customers’ active lifestyles.

Spatial Vision

Exceptionally sharp, dynamic vision The lens design optimizes the range within which an object can be moved closer to or farther away from the eye without a noticeable change in the focus of the image. This ensures customers experience clear and sharp vision even in dynamic environments where objects are constantly changing position.

Visual Stability

Natural, stable vision even on the move SMITH Rx progressive lenses include groundbreaking image-steadying technology which greatly reduces the image distortions that cause “swim effect”. Vision feels comfortable and natural, for complete confidence while on the move.

Step 1 Confirm measurements and Rx

Correct fitting The fitting cross is aligned perfectly with the wearer’s pupil center

Incorrect fitting The fitting cross does not match the pupil center

he lenses should have ink markings and the frame should be adjusted. If the markings are T missing, retrace them using the appropriate centration / cutout chart.

The fitting cross should be at the pupil center when the eyeglasses are on the wearer.

I f necessary, adjust the frame to raise or lower the fit.

Recheck frame adjustments: pantoscopic tilt, wrap angle, back vertex distance.

It is recommended to check the location of the pupil cross when delivering a new pair of eyeglasses to your patient.

Step 2 Explain how to use a progressive lens

Inform the patient about the adaptation period. Explain that with today’s new technology the adaptation period is shorter than with previous generations.

Provide information on how to wear and care for the eyeglasses.

Educate and explain how to use the lenses: the extent of the visual fields, the transition between fields, and side-to-side head movement for peripheral viewing.

Fitting Configuration Digital free-form technology enables us to adjust the fitting of each lens according to the customer’s prescription and chosen frame.

When selecting frames, please note that the B measurement of Chromapop blanks is 55mm.

Step 3 Lens demonstration

2 6m

60 cm

1. D emonstrate the distance vision by having the patient look at an object at least 6 m away.

2. D emonstrate the intermediate vision by having the patient read the progressive reading card or view a computer screen at arm’s length, or about 60 cm.

Frame Fit Our technology adjusts the lens design structure to fit the specific parameters of the frame the customer ordered.

20

Lens Fit We optimize the aesthetic appearance of the lens by using the optimal base curves and thinning prism, resulting in the thinnest possible lenses, even with a high prescription.

3. Demonstrate the near vision by having the patient read the progressive reading card at about 40 cm away.

4. Demonstrate the decrease in power at the periphery by having the patient hold their head still while moving the progressive reading card from side-to-side.
