Material and Finish: The "Cosmetan CX" refers to the specific finish American Optical uses to create a polished, aesthetically appealing frame. The material is typically durable and designed to withstand regular wear, with a premium feel and quality. Lens: The amber-tinted lens, known as "Cosmetic Amber," in the AO Saratoga sunglasses enhances contrast and color depth, making it ideal for low-light or overcast conditions. This tint reduces glare and brightens the view, providing a warm, vivid look while still offering full UV protection for outdoor use. The amber lenses are versatile enough for moderate sunlight as well as indoor or lower-light settings. Size: The "25T-51" refers to the specific sizing of the sunglasses. This means they have a 51mm lens width, which is a medium size, making them versatile for a range of face shapes.
