02 Benefits Changes in lighting conditions throughout the course of the day can considerably affect visual acuity and comfort At Etnia Barcelona we work with the very best materials in the world. With our commitment to excellence, our mineral lenses offer far better vision than any conventional lens, both in terms of acuity and health: the clarity they offer is 70 times greater and the protection against both ultraviolet and infrared light is 100%.

03 Qualities Light is just the minor part of solar radiation that the eye is capable of seeing. The remaining radiation is invisible to our eyes: it cannot be seen but we may well suffer its effects Etnia Barcelona works with different categories of lens, darkened to varying degrees, depending on the style and purpose of the product. Category 1 Category 1 lenses are slightly colored and are suitable for light solar brightness or urban areas. Category 2 Quality 2 lenses are suited to outdoor wear with moderately bright light. Category 3 Quality 3 lenses are for use in bright sunlight, such as one might find on the beach or in the high mountains. Category 4 Quality 4 lenses are for activities performed in extreme lighting conditions, for example, in the desert or high mountains. 8

06 Treatment Etnia Barcelona uses leading edge technology to ensure its lenses are always of the highest quality. In addition to working with the very best of materials and offering maximum protection, our glasses are subjected to special treatments to ensure an optimum visual experience at all times. Anti-scratch Treatment To prevent the glass from being scratched easily Oleophobic Treatment To protect the glasses from dirt and ease cleaning. 28

Hydrophobic Treatment Causes the lens to repel water, keeping the glass clear. Anti-reflective Treatment Stops light from reflecting on the surface of the lens and improves transparency by depositing multiple layers on top of the basic lens. 29

07 Filters Clouds do not protect us. 90% of ultraviolet radiation penetrates through them. It is a mistake to think that merely because it is cloudy and the light is less dazzling that we do not need glasses on a summer s day At Etnia Barcelona we work with three different kinds of lens, to ensure our glasses adapt to individual needs and preferences, according to where and why they are used. We offer different versions of eyewear to suit different activities. HD Filter HD is a high definition lens which enhances the experience of color without affecting visual acuity. Essential to increase colors and resolution in any context. Photo: 30 Botanical Garden, Cap Roig, Calella de Palafrugell, 11.30h.

Polarized filter Polarised lenses contain a special filter to cut out glare. They block bothersome reflected glare, only allow the light we need to pass. They provide clear vision with natural color and contrast. They are particularly recommended for driving or activities in the snow or water, where they eliminate the glare of sunlight reflected off horizontal surfaces. Photo: 32 Cadaques, 13h. The best visual experience provided by the Polarized mineral lenses of Etnia Barcelona. High protection and block of the reflected glare, for a clear and natural vision.

Photochromic filter A photochromic lens reacts to ultraviolet light by darkening. Our eyesight easily adapts itself to such change, remaining relaxed. Recommended for driving since they reduce eye fatigue and offer optimum contrast. Photo: 34 Puerto de Cadaques, 18h.
