The 012 range from Salice extends to eight different lens types and is available in a host of different lens and frame colours too – in total there are over 30 different combinations to choose from.

The CRX range comes with a single-piece photochromatic lens, as well as a replacement lens for low light conditions – in the case of the CMDCRXs it’s a light orange tint which accentuates detail effectively on dull days.
