    The glasses to filter
    UVA
    • The first glasses with lenses to filter UVA[5]
    rays are produced in the glassworks of
    Murano, in Venice where copies of the
    eighteenth century have survived. These
    glasses, also called "gondola glasses",
    "gondola glasses" or "lady’s glasses" with
    green glass, were used by the Venetian
    nobility to preserve the view from the
    constant glare of light on the water of the
    lagoon.

    Photochromic glasses
    • Photochromic glasses are
    characterized by lenses whose coloring
    varies depending on the external
    brightness, behaving like sunglasses
    with variable brightness reduction,
    from almost nothing to very high.
    The sloping glasses

    • The sloping glasses have a variable


    coloring, and therefore a changing
    brightness transmission on the lens.
    The upper part blocks most of the solar
    radiation, while the lower one is more
    transparent: for these characteristics
    are particularly suitable for driving
    vehicles.
