1908
Corning’s research laboratory was founded, one of the U.S. industry’s first, with applied optics research as a major priority.

1939
Research began on photosensitive glass, which acted like a photographic plate by permanently recording images within the glass. This technology led to the eventual development of Photochromic technology.

1964
The first true Photochromic borosilicate glass that continuously adjusted to changes in the sun’s UV rays was invented and hailed as one of the most stimulating innovations in the optical industry.

1980
The Serengeti®-patented Spectral Control® filter lens process was developed to simultaneously enhance contrast and reduce atmospheric glare by filtering out distracting blue wavelengths that reduce image sharpness. This helped establish Serengeti® eyewear.

1982
Serengeti® began to explore bringing the exclusive Photochromic and Spectral Control® lens technologies to the sunglass market. In 1982, Serengeti® sunglasses were recognized by Fortune magazine as one of the top 100 products in America.

1985
Serengeti® pioneered the idea of eyewear as serious eye care with the introduction of the Serengeti® Drivers® lens. They were heralded as the most important new sunglass in decades.

1988
Serengeti® sunglasses were recognized by Fortune Magazine as one of the top 100 products in America.

Fall has arrived, bringing cooler days, changing colors, and that low afternoon sunlight that can make even familiar places look a little different.
Whether you’re leaf peeping, accelerating down the 101 with the Pacific by your side, or discovering a new favorite part of town, Serengeti’s 3-in-1 lens technology adapts as the light changes, reduces distracting glare, and enhances contrast along the way.

Long before there was Serengeti Eyewear, scientists at Corning Glass Works—one of America’s great innovators in glass science—were exploring a remarkable idea: what if glass could react to the world around it?
​In 1964, the company developed the first true photochromic glass—an innovation that allowed a lens to respond to changing UV light, darkening in the sun and lightening as conditions changed. It would eventually redefine what a pair of sunglasses could do.
​After almost two decades of refinement, Serengeti was launched in 1982, pairing this light-sensitive glass with Corning’s newly developed Spectral Control® technology, designed to enhance contrast and manage specific wavelengths of light.
​It became a combination that turned heads from Hollywood to the racetrack. Serengeti set out to create the best driving sunglasses in the world and Carrara carries that legacy forward today. Its iconic aviator silhouette combines Serengeti’s optical-grade borosilicate mineral glass with our legendary 3-in-1 lens technology—a modern expression of an idea that took decades to perfect: sunglasses that don't simply make the world darker, but enhance your view of the world.

A clear view of the world isn’t just about making things darker. It’s about preserving the color, contrast, and detail that make a view worth looking at in the first place.
​That thinking is behind Serengeti’s 555nm™ lens. Its distinctive green tint is named for 555 nanometers, near the center of the visible light spectrum where the human eye is especially receptive. By carefully managing the light that reaches your eyes, 555nm™ helps maintain natural color while enhancing contrast and definition in bright conditions.
​The difference becomes apparent in the details. Greens remain rich and distinct. Landscapes gain definition. Subtle changes in texture and distance become easier to see, while Serengeti’s 3-in-1 lens technology continuously adapts to changing light and reduces distracting glare.
​The result isn’t an artificial version of the world. It’s a remarkably natural one—filled with the color and detail that were already there.

Put on a pair of Serengeti mineral glass sunglasses and one thing tends to get your attention first: just how remarkably clear everything looks.
​That clarity begins with optical-grade borosilicate glass. Chosen for its exceptional optical qualities, Serengeti specially treats this remarkable glass to reduce weight and increase strength before combining it with our legendary 3-in-1 lens technology—which adapts to changing light, reduces glare, and enhances contrast.
​Carrara brings that experience to one of Serengeti’s most iconic designs. Its classic aviator silhouette has endured for good reason, while a wide range of Serengeti lens tint options lets you choose the view that suits you best.

For most people, most of the time, a polarized lens is a great choice. By cutting reflected glare from roads, water, and other surfaces, polarization makes the world easier and more comfortable to see. But there are specific situations when that isn’t necessarily an advantage. That’s why Serengeti offers non-polarized lenses, too.
Pilots, for example, often avoid polarized lenses because they can interfere with certain cockpit displays and make reflections from other aircraft harder to see. Skiers may want to see the telltale shine of an icy patch, while sailors can use reflections to help read the surface of the water.
In those situations, Carrara XL offers a great solution. By offering a non-polarized DRIVERS™ Gradient mineral glass version, Carrara XL enhances contrast and provides the warm, remarkably clear view DRIVERS™ is known for, while leaving potentially useful reflections visible.
Add the iconic Carrara design, proportioned specifically for larger faces and finished in Dark Gunmetal, and you have a Serengeti classic with a lens choice designed for those times when polarized isn't necessarily better.

Finding a great pair of sunglasses gets harder when most frames simply aren’t made for your face.
Delio Large changes the proportions, not the personality. Its iconic square silhouette is crafted in Italy from rich acetate and sized specifically for larger faces, delivering the room and balance a proper fit demands. And of course, it features Serengeti’s iconic 3-in-1 lens technology.
Because great style and a great view of the world start with a great fit.

ONYX was created for bright days when you want protection from the sun without losing the clarity and details of a life worth living. The neutral tint of ONYX preserves natural color while Serengeti’s legendary 3-in-1 lens technology adapts to changing light, reduces glare, and enhances contrast—revealing the detail bright light can wash away.
​It’s a natural match for Raffaele. Crafted in Italy from rich acetate, Raffaele’s classic round silhouette blends vintage character with contemporary sophistication, while a distinctive keyhole bridge and refined detailing give the frame a character all its own.
