COLTS Laboratories, an independent testing facility, has certified Kaenon Polarized SR-91 lenses with an optical acuity and clarity of 40 lines of resolution - the highest possible score in the Definition and Resolving power category of the stringent U.S. government testing standard, ANSI Z.87.1. COLTS also found SR-91 exceeded the high-mass impact standards mandated by ANSI Z.87.1. SR-91 is the first non-polycarbonate lens to pass Z.87.1 and the first to pass and achieve the maximum score of 40 lines of resolution in the Definition/Optical Clarity category.
