ColorBoost Secures European Patent, Redefining How We See Color Through Eyewear
Some optical innovations improve clarity. Others change perception itself. With the official approval of European Patent No. EP3721272, ColorBoost™ firmly positions its technology in the latter category.
Granted by the European Patent Office and validated across all major European markets, the patent secures ColorBoost™’s proprietary color-enhancing, high-contrast lens technology. It is part of a wider global portfolio of more than 30 patents spanning Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Asia, offering long-term legal protection for a category where innovation is increasingly contested.
At stake is not only intellectual property, but the future of how color is experienced through ophthalmic lenses.
Color enhancing sunglass lenses without sacrificing accuracy
ColorBoost™ lenses are designed to intensify color perception while preserving balance and depth. Where conventional color-enhancing lenses often exaggerate saturation at the expense of accuracy, ColorBoost™ takes a precision-driven approach. By carefully controlling spectral transmission, the lenses more than double perceived color intensity while maintaining an exceptional 99% Color Accuracy Factor (CAF).
To objectively measure this performance, ColorBoost™ uses the Color Resolution Factor (CRF), which quantifies how distinctly individual colors are transmitted through a lens. With the highest CRF currently measured in the industry, ColorBoost™ establishes a clear technical benchmark rather than relying on subjective claims.
The result is a visual experience that feels richer and sharper, yet remains natural and comfortable for prolonged wear, across sport, lifestyle, and everyday use.
High contrast ophthalmic lenses:
From Lens Innovation to Optical Retail
Beyond laboratory performance, ColorBoost™ is actively expanding its presence at the optical retail level. The company recently entered a collaboration with Charmant, the long-established Japanese frame manufacturer and official partner of HEAD Eyewear. Through this partnership, selected HEAD sunglasses can now be fitted with ColorBoost™ lenses directly at the optician’s store.
This integration allows opticians to offer high-contrast, color-enhancing technology within a trusted performance frame platform, strengthening differentiation in the competitive sports eyewear segment.
ColorBoost™ lenses are available throughout Europe as plano, single-vision, and progressive lenses, exclusively via authorized optical retailers.
A Protected Standard in Color Vision
For Justin Fong, CEO of ColorBoost Inc., the impact goes beyond technical specifications:
“Did you know you can see over 30,000 additional colors that patients can experience with COLORBOOST™ lenses? We believe everyone deserves this kind of visual experience, and we are committed to bringing it to the world.”
At the same time, he issues a clear caution to the market. As color-enhancing lenses become more widely offered by international suppliers, not all solutions are patented, validated, or transparent in their performance claims. In a category where results are difficult to assess at first glance, verified patents and clear declarations are increasingly essential.
With European Patent EP3721272 now secured, ColorBoost™ moves beyond innovation alone, positioning itself as a protected reference point in advanced color vision technology.
