Mako Sunglasses Features

HIGH DEFINITION FILTER MAKO High Definition (HD) lenses are formulated using specific materials and additives to improve vision, enhance colour and provide increased contrast. Our HD lenses filter out harmful UV light and also certain wavelengths of visible light that are responsible for distortion while our polarised filters deal with glare. By removing this collection of harmful, harsh and distorted parts of the spectrum, MAKO HD lenses deliver protection, incredible clarity, and comfortable all-day wearing.

INFRARED FILTER The MAKO Infrared series (IR) of lenses add a further layer of protection by blocking the invisible radiant energy in the infrared range. This has been shown to reduce heat being transmitted through the lens by between 6 and 8 degrees celsius, resulting in even more comfortable all day wearing and less dry, itchy eyes.

AR COATINGS Anti-reflective (AR) coatings on the back surface of the lens provide protection from ultraviolet (UV) light which is responsible for a number of damaging long and short term effects on the eye. Without AR coatings, UV can reflect off the rear surface of the lens and enter the eye. AR coatings also increase visual acuity by reducing the distortion that can result from reflected visible light. MAKOs industry leading 12 layers of anti-reflective (AR) coatings provide superior protection from scattered and reflected light.

ADVANCED POLARISATION MAKO uses lenses with the highest grades of polarising efficiency. We call this Advanced Polarisation technology. The result is superior glare reduction and higher levels of visual acuity in harsh light conditions.

OLEO AND HYDROPHOBIC COATINGS Class-leading combination of hard coating, oleophobic (oil repelling) and hydrophobic (water repelling) coatings to help ensure your MAKO lenses will stand the test of time.

MIRROR COATINGS The use of internal mirrors removes them from harm’s way on the front of the lens and preventing scratching and abrasion marks.
