Why Should I Buy Eyewear With Polycarbonate Lenses?

In today’s fast-paced world, where vision clarity and eye protection cannot be compromised, polycarbonate lenses stand out as a superior choice for eyewear. Developed in the 1970s for aerospace applications, these lenses have found their way into our daily lives, offering unparalleled protection and comfort.

What Are Polycarbonate Lenses?

Unlike traditional glass lenses or cheap plastic lenses, polycarbonate material offers a unique combination of lightweight comfort, UV protection, and impact resistance. Polycarbonate lenses are six times lighter and twenty times stronger than glass. This makes them an ideal choice for anyone, from active outdoor enthusiasts to every day glasses wearers seeking durability without sacrificing clarity or comfort. 

The Benefits of Polycarbonate Lenses

Understanding the benefits of polycarbonate lenses is critical when selecting the right lens material for your eyeglasses. These lenses are significantly lighter and thinner than glass or other lens materials and offer built-in protection against harmful UV rays.

UV Protection

Polycarbonate lenses stand in a league of their own when it comes to UV protection, offering superior shielding against the sun’s damaging rays compared to average eyewear. These advanced lenses are engineered to block 100% of harmful UV rays, including UVA and UVB radiation. Unlike standard lenses that may require additional treatments or coatings for UV protection, polycarbonate lenses come with built-in UV protection.

Impact Resistance

Polycarbonate lenses revolutionize how we approach eyewear for recreational activities, bringing unmatched impact resistance that significantly enhances safety across a spectrum of pursuits. Born from materials developed for aerospace and military applications, these lenses offer a robust barrier against the unpredictable elements of outdoor and recreational settings. Whether you’re cycling down a rugged trail, skiing down slopes, or engaged in a spirited game of beach volleyball, the resilience of polycarbonate ensures that your lenses can withstand the bumps and impacts that come with the territory. Our glasses pass the ANSI impact-resistant rating and provide our users with an unparalleled experience.

Lightweight

The lightweight nature of polycarbonate lenses contributes significantly to the comfort of wearing glasses. Heavy glasses can lead to discomfort and marks on the nose or ears; however, the thin and light properties of polycarbonate lenses reduce this discomfort, making them perfect for long-term wear during various outdoor activities.
