Smith Optics Frame Technology
Smith Optics Sunglass Frames offer a number of innovative features that set the brand apart from the rest. Not only are most Smith sunglass frames extremely lightweight and exceptionally comfortable, almost all of them feature adjustable or Megol nose pads for added comfort. What’s more, Smith Optics offers a wide selection of ecofriendly sunglass frames that either incorporate bio-based materials or are made of 100% recycled material.
Smith Optics Sunglass Frames: The Expert Fit
Adjustable Nose Pads
The Smith Adjustable Nose Piece is standard on a variety of the brand’s performance sunglasses. This innovative nose piece adjusts to fit on your nose and keep the frame securely on your face, while also providing airflow for fog free vision.
Megol Nose Pads
Placed at the nose and on the temple tips, Megol gently grips your skin to help keep the frame in place. The gripping power increases when introduced to moisture.
Base Curve
The base curve is the radius of the sphere measured from the back of the lens. Smith features styles with 6,8 and 9 base lens curvature. Models that include 6 base tend to be more flat relative to your face. While 9 base styles provide the maximum amount of wrap around your face.
