What are NXT Lenses?
NXT lenses are made of Trivex materials. Trivex (Chinese name: Ethyl Carbamate Polymer) was invented by PPG in 2001.
Impact resistance:
Impact resistance is the main feature of the NXT lens. As a visual armor material originally used in the military field, Trivex has effective impact protection to the eye when it is most demanded. It is 10 times stronger than PC lenses in impact resistance and will last for life under normal use. It is the only explosion-proof safety lens on the market that can withstand external forces and turns.
Patented color injection technology :
Color representation is another important feature of NXT lenses. The biggest defect of the regular lens in dyeing is color aberration. The same color of the lens with different luminosity will produce different effects. The higher the refractive index, the serious the error. NXT lenses are a breakthrough in this respect. The patented color injection technology that infuses the color into the raw material gives the lens a natural color, ensuring that color aberrations are minimized and that they do not fade or change color over time or over long periods of use like other materials.
Abbe number and internal stress:
The Abbe number of NXT lenses made of Trivex is 43~45, which is close to CR39(58) and higher than PC lenses (29~32) and high folding lenses (32~41). At the same time, because the NXT lens is produced by the casting process, there is no stress in the finished lens, which further reduces the rainbow phenomenon, providing a guarantee for the clear visual effect and reducing eye fatigue.
Weight:
The specific gravity of NXT lens is 1.11g/cm3, 16% lighter than CR39 (1.32g/cm3) and 10% lighter than PC tablet (1.22g/cm3). The Trivex 1.53NXT medium-fold lens is so light that it can float.
Transition Lenses Problems
It is not convenient to rely on photochromic lenses when driving. It also may be unsafe if the driver depends on the prescription to see or is legally bound to wear prescription lenses when driving.
Besides, transition lenses are typically the size and shape of regular vision-correction lenses, which allows them to accurately correct the field of vision, but does not account for peripheral areas on either side of the visible range. Sunglasses operate by maintaining very dark glasses that expand over the field of vision and the peripheral with large, oblong lenses that block sunlight from both the front and sides. However, transition lenses are not typically dark enough for heavy sun and cannot block light penetration on the peripheral, leading to people having to resort to sunglasses again.
Of course, there are some benefits of transition lenses and you can click here to learn more.
The taboos of wearing glasses while driving at night
Night driving members should not wear tawny, green, and gray glasses. Tawny glasses can filter out most of the ultraviolet rays, although can make our eyes feel relaxed but easy to make people sleepy. Green glasses will turn red lights into black, directly affecting our judgment of traffic lights, so there is a great safety risk. Grey glasses, due to their low light transmittance, will weaken our line of sight and affect our observation of the road.
The Benefits of Anti-Glare Glasses
As is well known, glare is the excessive brightness caused by direct light or reflected light. It often occurs when sunlight bounces off a reflective surface like water or snow. Of course, anti-glare glasses can also be caused by other factors.
Standard plastic lenses are able to reflect approximately 8% of the light that reaches your glasses and high-index lenses often reflect up to 12% of available light. Hence, anti-glare glasses come in a lot of advantages.
The anti-reflective glasses can reduce eye strain and make your eyeglasses look more attractive because the anti-reflective coating can eliminate reflections from the front and back surfaces of your eyeglass lenses. With this feature, more light can pass through your lenses to improve your vision with fewer distractions and the lenses look nearly invisible.
In addition, anti-glare glasses are helpful to high-index lenses, which reflect more light than regular plastic lenses. In general, the higher the index of refraction of the lens material, the more light will be reflected from the surface of the lenses.
Anti-glare glasses can protect your eyes from UV rays (sunlight that doesn’t appear on our visual spectrum). This feature can be enhanced by some photochromatic or polarized lenses.
What is the difference between sunglasses and polarized glasses for fishing?
Ordinary sunglasses reduce the sensitivity of the light, reduce the intensity of the reflection, and reduce the glare of strong light. Wear the glasses to see where there is a reflection on the surface of the water, the reflection still affects the vision.
Polarized sunglasses used for fishing can not only reduce the sensitivity but also refract the reflections to prevent the strong light from stabling the eyes. Wearing polarized sunglasses to see the reflections on the water surface will not see the reflections. Also, you can see underwater fish and scenery ( Depending on the clarity of the water), it is not an exaggeration to say that polarizers are an enhanced version of sunglasses.
Semi-rimless glasse with lightweight structure
Semi-rimless glasses are not heavy and thus very comfortable to wear even over a long period of time. The frame is used with less material and can reduce the weight of the glasses themselves so that the glasses are lighter. And they can reduce the pressure on our bridge of the nose, for our bridge of the nose, they can reduce a lot of burdens. Because they weigh less, they have a smooth and foldable style.
Advantages of Plastic Frames
Plastic is usually called a plate, having no skin allergies. The price is relatively cheap. Colors and styles are diverse. The color is rich, rich in shape. The injection molding material is higher dimensional stability of the whole batch, fast processing speed, and low comprehensive cost. Material prices are lower. It has a certain flexibility. TR material has high transparency. With high flexibility, it can meet the needs of different sizes. Plate material surface hardness is high. They need no surface treatment, having noble texture, wear-resisting. Suitable comfort change can be made according to different face sizes. It is the most mature material used in eyewear products of international apparel brands.
