How many degrees of myopia do I need to wear glasses?
Students are the most nearsighted because they need to read and study every day. Many people have myopia during their student days. During the physical examination, everyone will check their eyesight first. Generally speaking, if the visual acuity is lower than 0.6, it means that you may be near-sighted to 0 degrees.

What Is Polycarbonate Lens?
Polycarbonate was developed in the 1970s for aerospace applications and is currently used for the helmet visors of astronauts and for space shuttle windscreens. Polycarbonate lenses were introduced in the early 1980s in response to a demand for lightweight, impact-resistance lenses. Since then, polycarbonate has become standard for safety glasses, sports goggles, and children’s eyewear.
Polycarbonate glasses are thinner and lighter than regular plastic lenses. They provide 100% UV protection and are up to 10 times more impact-resistance than plastic or glasses lenses. Polycarbonate glasses also offer clearer and more comfortable vision if an anti-reflective coating is applied to the lenses, which can eliminate distracting lens reflections that interfere with vision, particularly when driving at night or in other low-light conditions when glare sources are present.
However, polycarbonate lens is a naturally soft material, making it more subject to scratching without adequate protection with a scratching-resistant coating. Polycarbonate glasses have high dispersion due to its low Abbe value of 30, causing chromatic aberrations.
