Costa 580 Color Enhancing Lens Technology Costa is the first brand to have an all polarized color enhancing lens technology, also known as 580. Not only does it have a 99.99% polarizing efficiency, but Costa’s 580 lenses will block out all the bad HEV blue light.
How do I know if my Costa lenses are plastic or glass?
