Costa Del Mar provides 52 styles and 8 lens options of polarized eyewear, and 18 frame colors.
The lenses are manufactured in three different materials: CR-39, Glass, and Polycarbonate. Each of these lenses offer different attributes mainly focused on durability, optical clarity, and scratch resistance. Every lens made by Costa Del Mar is 100% Polarized and offers 100% UVA, UVB, and UVC protection.
Costa Del Mar offers two quality lenses. The Costa 400 is offered in all three lens materials, and it eliminates glare at the 400 nanometer mark. This allows for clearer vision and reduces strain on eyes.
The Costa 580 is Costa Del Mar's premium lens collection. It was introduced in August 2000. This lens eliminates glare at the 580 nanometer mark. Specifically, it significantly reduces the amount of yellow light that penetrates the lens; yellow light is the hardest light for the eye to process. This nearly completely eliminates glare, allowing enhanced color saturation and definition. The 580 lenses were originally only available in glass, but are now available in polycarbonate as well.
Some of the frame styles also are C-Mates (a bi-focal lens) which is currently offered in the +1.75 and +2.50 magnification levels.
Costa Del Mar sunglasses can also be made custom with prescription lenses which feature all its lens technology that comes standard.
All of Costa Del Mar's lenses are made in Florida and assembled with frames from either Japan, Italy, France, Mauritius, China, or Taiwan. Their headquarters and repair center are also located in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
“Primitive peoples tried to annul death by portraying the human body—we do it by finding substitutes for the human body. Technology instead of mysticism!”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
