American Optical

Hazemaster - Pewter

Hazemaster revives another highly sought-after style from the American Optical archives of the 1960s. It was specifically designed for outdoorsmen, fishermen, hunters, and marksmen, featuring a sweat bar and unique yellow Hazemaster lenses that cut through fog, mist, or haze. The total absence of the blue end of the spectrum from the Hazemaster lens produces a crisper outline in outdoor haze. Autumn foliage viewers favor Hazemaster lenses because the reds, ambers and yellows of fall leaves are much more vivid with blue tints absent.

The oldest and greatest optical company in American history has pioneered optical and eyewear innovation for centuries. AO’s founders believed everyone should have access to eyewear, not just the elite, and changed history by bringing spectacle manufacturing to the US. Since then, AO has originated sunwear styles worn by pilots, Presidents, and NASA space crew.
