(OVERLAND PARK, Kansas) – PeakVision Sports has announced its patented Dual-Zone, 100-percent distortion-free eyewear outperformed other leading sunglass brands in a recent study conducted by Dr. Craig Farnsworth, one of the world’s foremost sports vision specialists and performance enhancement experts.
Farnsworth – a developmental optometrist known as the “Putt Doctor” for his work with over 60 PGA TOUR players – compared high performance eyewear manufacturers across ten key categories. PeakVision received the highest rating in eight of the nine, and bested the nearest competitor in optical clarity by a staggering 50-percent margin.
Featuring lenses constructed of a revolutionary optical polymer, PeakVision was the only brand in the across-the-board analysis to achieve a 100-percent “distortion free” rating. The stylish, lightweight sunglasses tested as the most durable of the four subjects, and were one of only two brands that did not limit peripheral vision.
Categories included:
Lens material/full time “wearability” on the golf course
Lens manufacturing process/performance enhancement
UVA/UVB protection
Optical clarity
Optical distortion
Durability
Shatterproof lenses
Dual-Zone filtration
Wrap-Around lens and frames
Limitations to peripheral vision
Farnsworth concluded:
“PeakVision Sports sunglasses represent the first real advance in performance eyewear in four decades. Until recently, there were no solutions providing acceptable optical performance that would also address the multiple light conditions encountered during a round of golf. PeakVision sunglasses accomplish this through the vision-enhancing Dual-Zone technology. Moreover, the lenses are devoid of distortion and should serve to remove the final barrier to golfers wearing sunglasses during their time on the course.”
A paradigm-shifting breakthrough in sunglasses, PeakVision’s innovative Dual-Zone lenses feature neutral-density gray tinting in the upper zone that reduces glare and allows for accurate distance perception. The spectrally-tuned amber color in the lower zone highlights the contours of the green for better reads of putts than with the naked eye. Incorporating these two filters into one lens balances the lighting extremes and provides decreased eye fatigue, optimal visual acuity and enhanced speed of perception.
“Dr. Farnsworth’s conclusions validate over five years of research, testing and product development,” says Scott Berg, President of PeakVision Sports. “The study reinforces the fact that Tour players and recreational golfers of all abilities can perform at higher levels wearing PeakVision Sports eyewear.”
PeakVision Sports performance eyewear is worn by Champions Tour legend Bruce Fleisher, PGA TOUR players Billy Andrade and Scott McCarron, and rebel golf commentator David Feherty. Andrade and McCarron are enjoying a resurgent years on TOUR this season, a mercurial rise both players attribute to their use of PeakVision sunglasses. After finishing 124th on the money list last year, Andrade is currently ranked 40th on the money list and is among the TOUR leaders in putting. McCarron – who finished 106th on the money list in 2004 – is currently ranked 46th.
In addition to golfers performing at higher levels wearing PeakVision sunglasses, they are also popular among skiers, professional baseball umpires and pilots. For more information, call 888.856-3419, email sales@peakvisionsports.com or visit www.peakvisionsports.com .
About PeakVision Sports
The first major innovation in golfer-sunglass technology in more than 40 years, PeakVision Sports’ high-performance eyewear represents a radical step in optical design and manufacturing. The vast majority of sunglasses since the 1960s have had single-filter, polycarbonate lenses incapable of properly distinguishing between the bright hues of the horizon and sky and the dark hues of terrain and landscape.
The material used in PeakVision Sports lenses is a revolutionary optical polymer that offers superior optical clarity and uniformity, scratch resistance, durability and ultra-light weight compared to polycarbonate. This material is the latest technology, originally developed for the windscreens in military helicopters.
PeakVision eyewear provides 100 percent UV400 protection from the entire spectrum of dangerous UV radiation.
The company recently unveiled four distinct, stylish models: Classic, Chip, Shot and Neva. All men’s and women’s Classic and Chip models are available in six stylish finishes (matte and polished black, matte and polished tortoise, polished graphite and metallic silver) with interchangeable lenses. MSRP: Classic ($129), Chip ($149), Shot ($149), Neva ($139).
