How Smith ChromaPop technology changes everything?

Smith mission is to create products “that help you get the most of your every moment” and to succeed this mission, they work hard at designing products that look cool and that work like no other. One of Smith best innovations is named ChromaPop. It is a lens technology offering sharper and crisper colours to users. The idea is to enhance details and clarity so you can see better without efforts. Your eyes don’t work as hard and get less fatigue. Seeing better also gives you more confidence and allows you to react faster.

ChromaPop lenses filters these colours to allow you to see with more clarity and more definition. Colours look more natural, eyes can see more details than with its normal capabilities.
