Because Glass Is Beautiful
What makes OTIS so unique?
Environmentally friendly. Scratch resistant. Optically correct.
There are multiple things that can go wrong with sunglass lenses. Some scratch easily, some distort your vision and most are made from plastic and are terrible for the environment. Using mineral glass fixes all of these problems.
Every OTIS lens is made from non-toxic natural materials like sand and soda ash. At the end of their long life, they’re also endlessly recyclable. They are thermally hardened, enhancing their already natural scratch resistance and durability. They’re also ground, polished and precision tested for clarity control, making them 100% optically correct.
Just check out how they are made in the clip below...
