OVER THREE DECADES OF KNOW-HOW COMBINED IN A WORLD FIRST
Wattwil-based optrel sports ag is part of the internationally active Swiss technology company optrel group. The spirit of invention is deeply rooted in optrel's corporate philosophy. More than 35 years ago, the company invented the first automatically dimming welding helmet based on liquid crystal displays and is still considered the technology leader in this market segment. Since then, millions of welders and employees in the metalworking industry have entrusted their eyesight to optrel and appreciate - in addition to the highest level of safety - the incomparable wearing comfort, design and high functionality of optrel products.
The new optray sunglasses with patented ShadeTronic® Technology combine more than three decades of know-how in the fields of liquid crystal displays, sensor technology and ultra-low-power electronics.

BEWARE OF CONFUSION: NOT ALL SELF-TINTING IS THE SAME
The first so-called photochromic lenses appeared on the market as early as the 1960s. Molecules incorporated into the lenses trigger a chemical reaction through UV radiation, which causes the lenses to darken. The problem with photochromic lenses, however, is that the reaction time from light to dark takes up to one minute and from dark to light up to ten minutes. Many customers are then disappointed after buying photochromic glasses, because in many cases it is still necessary to change your glasses. In addition, these glasses do not work in the car, because the UV light is blocked by the windshield.
