Unleashing New Perspectives,Redefining Vision.
Our ULTRA Lenses are capable of improving visibility by bringing intended subjects into sharp relief, through emphasizing certain color gamuts specified according to their objectives and purposes of use.
Since the color tones that should be emphasized in sporting activities vary with their equipment and environments, we optimize lenses for each category through joint research conducted with professional athletes.
ULTRA LENS FOR GOLF
It all started with a request from Ryo Ishikawa, a professional golfer.
Based on his request, we started research and development of lenses to increase the visibility of the ball in the scenery of the golf course and make it easier to track the ball with the eye.
Working with Associate Professor Ichiro Katayama of Kinki University of Bioscience and Biotechnology, we developed a lens that makes the color of the ball stand out clearly and distinctly against the background of a golf scene, such as blue skies and green forests.
In addition, since the color of visibility when worn is natural and easily fits the eye, it can be used throughout the day with less strain on the eye even when wearing it all day.
ULTRA LENS FOR FISHING
Bass sight fishing is the main target.
It does not feel dark in dim morning and evening conditions or in situations where lures are cast over obstacles that are in the shadow of trees.
The lens color is easy on the eyes when looking at light greens, which are common in Japan, and the lens contrast enhancement effect makes it easy to see underwater conditions. Moreover, the high contrast effect makes it easy to understand the underwater situation.
This lens is best suited for sight fishing, where the angler concentrates on the sight.
ULTRA LENS FOR DRIVING
With the concept of “Making everyday driving safer and more comfortable”, ULTRA LENS for DRIVING provides a comfortable driving condition by cutting off unpleasant light and facilitating visibility of necessary information for driving on public roads, as experienced through the trained eyes of a racing driver.
ULTRA LENS FOR BALLSPORTS
Looking up to catch a fly ball. Handling a ground ball crawling on the ground in the shade. Hitting the ball thrown by the pitcher in the backlight...
These are “lenses that make it easy to see the ball, reduce glare, but are not too dark” for various situations in baseball. The lens color enhances the visibility of the white ball, and the mirror finish has the effect of reducing the overall glare.
ULTRA LENS FOR CYCLING
The most frightening part of bicycle riding is falling off the bike. This is the case whether you are a professional rider in a top category race or a regular cyclist riding on ordinary roads.
In order to prevent falling off a bicycle, it is important to understand the road surface conditions. Even in a situation where the rider is driving at a dizzying pace through sun and shade at speeds sometimes exceeding 50 km/h, “dark and invisible” is prevented, and prediction, recognition, judgment, and handling are assisted.
ULTRA LENS FOR SNOW
The weather in the mountains is changeable, and visibility is easily affected by the snow, clouds, and other conditions. ULTRA LENS for SNOW is a lens that clearly shows bumps and unevenness even in low-light conditions.
Furthermore, the eye can easily adapt to scenes where light and dark conditions switch at high speed, such as forest trails, and this lens shows its true value in backcountry scenes, freestyle skiing, and other situations where instantaneous judgment is required based on visual field information.
