While HCl is an abbreviation for Hydrochloric Acid, it is also an abbreviation for "Hairy cell leukemia" (an uncommon and slowly progressing B cell leukemia). Neither of these are things you want in your eyes, fortunately for you, neither of these things are put into these sunglasses. HCL in this case stands for "High Contrast Lens", which are specifically designed to increase contrast and clarity on foggy/hazy/overcast days.
