BioChrom Lenses: Color Your Performance
Common sense has always told us that colors affect not only our mental states, but also our bodies (that's why, for example, we usually suggest using plants - green ones! - to create a relaxing environment). However, in recent times an ever-increasing number of studies are confirming this intuition from a scientific point of view . NRC, always keen to explore new ways to create exceptional sunglasses, decided to explore this line of research together with ZEISS with BioChrom nylon lenses .
ZEISS commissioned a special study at the ZEISS Vision Science Labs in Tübingen . The effects of red, blue, yellow and green on the bodies and minds of humans were scientifically measured using skin conductance, neuroanalysis, eye tracking & pupillometry and heart rate. The results of this study are astonishing , because they reveal the extent to which colors can influence our performance, mood and well-being.
This research by ZEISS has led to the creation of the revolutionary BioChrom lenses , specifically designed to influence mood and improve physical performance. Nylon lenses ( here we explain why we chose nylon ) treated with BioChrom technology are part of our brand new WX4 sunglasses .

Well, now that we've seen what the near future of sunglasses holds, let's take a quick look at how ZEISS BioChrom lenses work .
How ZEISS BioChrom lenses work
BioChrom lenses radically change our concept of sunglasses. In the words of ZEISS, in these lenses, color becomes a technology to improve physical performance, brain activity and emotions.
This is not science fiction . As we have already seen, these are the results of in-depth studies in optics and neuroscience, to demonstrate the effects of colors and colored lenses on human vision and neurophysiological responses.
A colored lens has been shown to affect not only the way we see, but also the way we feel and act. Knowing what effect you want to achieve, you can then choose the ideal sunglasses depending on your needs and lifestyle .
Blue, Green, Red, Yellow: Let's take a look at the specific effects of each color.
