Lightweight
Polycarbonate Lenses are
about 30% lighter than conventional
plastic lenses.
Thinner Lenses
Polycarbonate is a "high index" material; therefore, strong
prescriptions can be made more attractive by being
thinner.
Scratch Resistant
Special coatings have been developed to help protect your lenses. This scratch
coating feature is available in Polycarbonate Lenses.
Impact Resistant
No other lens
can beat the strength of Polycarbonate
Lenses. They are a must for children or anyone participating in active
sports events as well as for occupational safety
concerns.
Polycarbonate material is stronger than glass or
plastic for lenses - several times more impact resistant than
OSHA requirements. In fact,
NASA uses polycarbonate in the face shields worn by
astronauts in space.
Protection from Harmful UV Radiation
UV radiation
can be very harmful to the human eye. At particular risk are outdoor workers and those exposed to UV rich
environments. Polycarbonate Lenses offer complete UV protection for
your eyes by blocking 100% of the harmful UV light.
Unlike other types of lenses, this
is not an applied coating, but a characteristic of the polycarbonate material.
Superior
Value of Inclusive Features
The
combination of UV Protection, Impact Resistance, Thinner
& Lighter Weight make our Polycarbonate Lens a hard value to beat.
