\n\n\n\nA Brief History: From NASA to Your Eyes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Incredibly, Revo’s roots go all the way back to NASA. In 1985, optical engineer and avid outdoorsman Dr. Mitch Ruda came up with the idea to use the same protective coatings developed for satellite portholes on sunglass lenses. With this revolutionary finding, Dr. Ruda created the Revo NASA Light Management System\u2122.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That space-age thinking led to what Revo is now known for: high-performance eyewear that delivers razor-sharp vision, no matter the conditions. It\u2019s like giving your eyes a high-performance filter, all day long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nThe Technology Behind Revo Sunglasses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
At the heart of every pair of Revo sunglasses is the Revo NASA Light Management System\u2122 (LMS) technology. This means all Revo’s sunglasses offer 100% polarised UV protection, which is the best protection and glare reduction you can buy. Let’s take a look at how these lenses are designed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Authentic Revo Oleophobic Coating<\/strong> – repels oil and fingerprints<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- NASA Lens Technology-Based Mirror Coatings<\/strong> – 3 to 6 layers to perfect vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Digital-Friendly Polarised Filters <\/strong>– eliminate distracting glare<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Revo Sun Lens<\/strong> – 100% UV-blocking high-tech base lens<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Anti-Reflection Coating<\/strong> – reduces back surface reflections<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Hydrophobic Hard Coating<\/strong> – Water-repellent protective layer<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

Components listed from left to right<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n Whether you\u2019re riding, driving, spectating, or working outdoors, Revo lenses help reduce squinting, eye strain, and even long-term sun damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nThe Benefits of Polarised Revo Sunglasses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ve probably heard the term ‘polarised’ before, but do you know what it actually means? Simply put, polarised sunglasses have a special filter that blocks horizontal light waves, which are the kind responsible for intense glare. Think sunlight bouncing off water, sand, or a wet road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For anyone spending time outdoors, glare isn\u2019t just annoying. It can cause eye strain, squinting, and reduced visibility. Revo\u2019s polarised lenses cut through that glare, helping you see more clearly, comfortably, and with better contrast. That means fewer headaches, less fatigue, and a safer, more enjoyable view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nRevo Lens Options: What\u2019s Best for Your Lifestyle?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Whether you\u2019re shopping for men\u2019s sunglasses for outdoor sports or classic styles for everyday wear, Revo has something for every rider and adventurer. And if you\u2019re after elegant yet practical women\u2019s sunglasses, there are plenty of chic frames designed for style and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
