G-15 Lenses Explained

How the Lens Works

Human eyes do not respond equally to all colors in the visual spectrum. The eyes are more sensitive to green and yellow wavelengths and are less sensitive to red and blue. Based on this knowledge, the G-15 lens was formulated to emphasize the colors that our eyes see most easily and de-emphasize less useful colors.

The G-15 lens absorbs 85% of visible light, transmitting only 15%. The light transmission curve of the G-15 (showing the amount of light that is allowed to pass through the lens) is similar to the color sensitivity of the human eye. What this means is that the lens transmits colors in the same way the tour eyes are sensitive to colors. This results in natural vision - true colors that are easy on the eye.
