Do I Really Need Polarized Sunglasses?

Polarization cuts glare, increases visibility, and lets you see underwater. In short, it helps you do the things you love better. And once you’ve taken that hairpin without getting blinded or looked a fish straight in the eye, you’ll never go back.

Unmatched Quality

We don’t know everything, but we know lenses. The last ten years have been all about testing, testing, testing. Every single material, coating, and manufacturing method has been evaluated. Only the best are used for our lenses.

It makes a difference and there are a lot of them. So we put together a short quiz to help you decide.

Questions About Replacing Your Smith Backdrop Lenses?

Can I replace the lenses in my sunglasses?

Yes, most name-brand sunglasses have lenses that can be replaced. Revant lenses are custom-cut for specific frame models and include installation instructions. In most cases, you can replace the lenses at home in under two minutes.

How do I know if Revant lenses will fit my frame?

Check the model name or number printed on the inside temple of your sunglasses. Revant lenses are made for exact frame models, not just similar styles. If the model on your frame matches the one listed on our product page, you’ll get a perfect fit.

If you're unsure or don't see a model name or number, contact us and we can help make sure you get the right lenses for your sunglasses.

What’s the difference between Revant lenses and my original lenses?

Revant lenses are aftermarket, not OEM, but they’re engineered to meet or exceed the performance of original lenses. Each lens is traced from the original frame model using high-precision digital scanners that capture its unique curvature and edge geometry down to fractions of a millimeter. That means you get a lens cut to fit your frame exactly. No guesswork, no gaps, and no rattle.

Beyond fit, Revant lenses are tested for optical clarity, impact resistance, and durability. We also offer upgrades like polarization, MirrorShield® tints, anti-reflective coatings, and hydrophobic layers that go beyond what many stock lenses provide.

Great Lenses

"Great quality and price. Fit my old Smith shades perfectly. Thanks"

— Christopher E. (5/5)

Perfect Replacements

"I purchased these to replace the lens from my Smith fishing glasses. They were easy to replace, perfect fit, and impossible to distinguish from the originals. Great way to keep my favorite sunglasses in use!"

— STEVEN V. (5/5)

Sub par lens build

"The lense color is stated as a "warm" tone which isn't really a tint color. The center of the lense has a amber grey color but the top and bottom edges have a green-ish grey color. The mirror lense coating creates a fair amount of phantom reflection when in sunlight which is pretty annoying. They do fit my Smith Backdrops well which is good because they are a 12 year old frame that is no longer serviced by Smith. The selection of lens color is ambiguous on the website and is not well suited for fishing lens colors."

— Joe M. (2/5)
