Discover the Science Behind Our Lens Coatings

Introducing Heat Wave Visual's first pair of sunglasses produced in the United States. We have partnered with the most prominent domestic eyewear injection molding facility in California to achieve the perfect balance of build quality, fit, and value.

The USA Vise builds upon the Vise legacy with a lightweight Grilamid TR90 premium thermoplastic frame that is uncoated and polished, offering a high-luster gloss finish. The uncoated nature of the frame enhances resistance to chemicals, while the TR90 material is overall more durable and flexible. Two traditional high-quality 5-barrel hinges in gold plating securely hold the entire assembly together, contributing to the overall premium fit and finish. Lastly, the USA Vise meets ANSI z87 requirements and includes custom embossed markings on the inside of the temples.


The USA VISE meets OSHA eyewear specifications for jobs not requiring side shields and chemical splash resistance.

**The USA Vise does not have swappable arms and is non-customizable**

ANSI Z87+ Safety (where applicable)

Our safety frame line (Heat Wave Z87, Wiley X, Smith Elite, Spy ANSI, Oakley Standard Issue, Wye/Delta) meets or exceeds ANSI Z87.1-2020 impact and optical requirements where marked Z87+ on frame and lens. Oakley Meta and other consumer-grade smart frames are not Z87-rated, check the product specs for each model.

Specs & Fit

Impact-rated polycarbonate lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection across the safety line. Look for the Z87+ mark on the frame and lens to confirm the ANSI rating. Anti-fog, polarized, and mirror options vary by model. Fit runs unisex, medium to large.

Shipping & Returns

Free shipping on every order within the US, no minimum. In-stock frames ship from Phoenix fast; a few styles are made to order and ship once they arrive to us. Returns accepted within 45 days.

Why buy here instead of the brand site? CHAOSRXOptics compares Z87+ frames across Heat Wave, Wiley X, Oakley, Smith, Spy, and Wye/Delta, then points you toward the frame, fit, and lens that actually fits the job. If a Wiley X makes more sense than the Heat Wave you came for, we will say so.

Prescription lenses are custom-made and cannot be restocked. If the prescription is wrong or the fit fails on a corporate Rx order, we remake it through the program process.
