KarbonEye
Rudy Project’s KarbonEye has a full cover lens made entirely of ImpactX, a material that can be bent out of shape and contorted yet always come back to its original shape. The lenses are frameless, so there is no loss of peripheral visibility. The KarbonEye lenses are not available in a prescription model, but they do accept prescription inserts. They are available in four options: The carbon/red frame with ImpactX Photochromic Red lens and the white carbon/black frame with a choice of ImpactX Photochromic clear, Polar 3FX grey or laser black lens. Prices range from $325 to $380. Bottom line: The KarbonEye glasses are durable and lightweight, and they have maximum peripheral vision through crystal clear lenses.
Noyz
Rudy Project’s Noyz model is a bit lower on the price scale, ranging from $175 to $255, but still an all-around sports lens. Unlike the KarbonEye, the lenses are separated by the frame and nosepiece. Available in three frame colors and three lens options, including their high-grade poly lens with basic coating, the ImpactX lens with Photochromic ability, and a polarized version of the ImpactX. The Noyz is available for both a prescription lens and a prescription lens insert.
