Since 1983, Costa Sunglasses, an EssilorLuxottica brand, has built a reputation for creating the highest quality, best-performing sunglasses for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts – but Costa knows that not every adventure takes place in the light of day. Costa Clear, the brand’s latest collection of single vision and progressive optical lenses, answers the call for clear vision all day, every day.
 

The collection of three single vision (Essential, Waypoint, Waypoint Plus) and four progressive (Base, Essential, C-Scape, C-Scape Plus) lens options offer a tiered approach to suit the unique needs of everyone - from those who desire an accessible and reliable Costa optical lens to elite anglers and craftsmen that demand extra performance and clarity.


Premium options in both the single vision and progressive lens categories utilize Costa Waypoint digital surfacing technology which was created to enhance field of view by virtually eliminating the peripheral blur found in sunglasses with high wrap and coverage. Costa has evolved the designs in its clear lenses to ensure a perfect fit and superior visual clarity no matter which direction you look. Premium lenses in the progressive category feature Costa C-SCAPE designs. Each Costa C-SCAPE design was developed by sport-fishing pros and lens designers for immediate adaptation and enhanced viewing fields. All C-SCAPE lens designs will always come with Costa Waypoint digital technology, helping to minimize peripheral blur.


Similar to Costa’s sun RX lenses, all Costa Clear lenses are etched with the C-Wave logo for authenticity and include advanced coatings, including protection from blue light. Every lens is hydrophobic (water-resistant), oleophobic (smudge and oil-resistant), scratch resistant, anti-static and made to reduce inner and outer glare to protect lens integrity on and off the water.



Costa Clear lenses are now available in all of Costa’s optical frames, including eight new styles for a complete offering of high-performance lenses and frames. The sophisticated new frame styles are built with the waterman and waterwoman in mind. Taking inspiration from the PRO series of sunglasses, additions to the Ocean Ridge collection are built from a durable, double injected Bio-Resin and feature a ventilated nose pad for increased comfort, eye wire drains to help manage sweat, Hydrolite nonslip grips and keeper-ready temples to keep one’s frames in place.
