Comment: Von Zipper's new MelOptics polarized lenses are nothing short of amazing. I've been wearing the MelOptics in the Elmore frame for about 6 months and they are by far the best sunglasses I've ever owned.
All VZ MelOptics lenses feature a synthetic melanin coating that blocks 97% of blue light and makes them UV500 rated (most glasses are UV400.) The MelOptics lens also acts like SPF140 for your eyes. Keeps the harmful rays out and wards off crowsfeet and premature aging around your eyes.
