Innovation Plus

INNOVATION PLUS Prescription Sunglasses for RC Use

Innovation Plus provide all the benefits of our standard Innovation frames, but with two sets of polarised lenses for significant glare reduction. As with the standard Innovation glasses, the 'Plus' frames feature a polycarbonate clip that houses a pair of prescription lenses, slotted into a tough polycarbonate frame with rubber side arm inserts and nose pieces for an ultra-comfortable fit. The four sets of interchangeable lenses provided - Cat 0 (light-enhancing), Cat 2 (beige polarised, for general use), Cat 3 (smoked grey polarised, for bright light conditions) and Cat 4 (dark smoked, for very bright condiitons) - clip onto this at the top. A spring mechanism ensures a sturdy fit, and also allows the front lens to be flipped-up if necessary for transmitter adjusting, or when in the pits.

As with all of our other glasses, Innovation Plus conform to US ANSI Z80.3 plus British and European Safety Standard BS1836. They offer 100% UVA / UVB protection, and will significantly reduce the chances of a serious eye injury in the event of a crash. Each pair comes complete with the three sets of lenses, a carry case and a cleaning cloth as standard. The anti-scratch coated lenses are de-centred, which means they are calibrated to remove the potentially distorted viewing you would normally get from a curved lens.

IMPORTANT NOTE -When wearing Innovation Plus, some users may find they cannot see certain types of LCD or other electronic / digital transmitter displays. This is a normal cause of wearing polarised glasses. We recommend using the glasses with the front section flipped up, or the glasses removed, when model trimming prior to use.

WILL THEY WORK FOR ME? - If you have a prescription (SPH) requirement that's less than plus or minus 4.00, our glasses will work just fine for you. Stronger prescriptions can cause distortion, due to the curvature of the tinted lenses when placed in front of the flat prescription clip. The de-centring calibration loses its effect where stronger prescriptions are required. If you have a requirement greater than plus or minus 4, please do not buy these glasses. Bi-focals, varifocals and prismatic lenses can be added - if in doubt, please consult your optician for advice.

ADDING LENSES - Prescription lenses can be added to these glasses by any reputable optician. In the UK, our friends Axis Optical have been successfully adding lenses to our glasses at prices typically 50% of those found in the high street, for three years. We highly recommend their expert service - call 0114 2728993 to find out more. Axis Optical charge £30.00 for a basic prescription, and £55.00 for bifocals. Please note that Axis Optical cannot fit varifocals or prismatic lenses by mail order - you are welcome to visit their premises in Sheffield to have these measured, otherwise please use your local optician instead.
