ACTIVE ELECTROCHROMIC TECHNOLOGY ACTIVE ELECTROCHROMIC TECHNOLOGY

Traditional photochromic lenses rely on ambient light to change tint. POVEC takes a more direct approach. Using advanced electrochromic technology, POVEC lenses change tint electronically through low-voltage signals. Each adjustment is initiated by the wearer and completed in under one second, providing direct control as light conditions change.

A New Way to Control Light A New Way to
Control Light

Electrochromic technology uses a controlled electrical signal to change the optical properties of a lens.

When a low voltage is applied, ions move within ultra-thin functional layers, changing the amount of visible light transmitted through the lens. This allows the tint to shift quickly between lighter and darker states.

Unlike photochromic lenses, the change does not depend on sunlight or UV exposure. Tint is adjusted electronically, only when initiated by the wearer.

Tunnels Tunnels

Lighten the lenses before entering tunnels and underpasses, then darken them again as you return to daylight.

Low Sun Low Sun

Darken the lenses on demand when low-angle sunlight creates intense brightness and glare.

Forest Forest

Switch tint as you move between dense tree cover and bright, exposed sections of the trail.

Mountains Mountains

Control your tint through changing elevation, terrain, weather, and exposure.

Open Roads Open Roads

Darken the lenses for exposed roads, then lighten them as the route moves back into shade.

Shifting Weather Shifting Weather

Adjust the tint as clouds, changing weather, and time of day alter the light around you.
