What Is Plastic Lens?

In the above part, we have introduced what polycarbonate lenses are. In this section, we will show you what the plastic lens is.

The plastic lens was first introduced in 1947. Since then, plastic has become a popular and widely used material for making eyeglasses lenses. Since the introduction and use of plastic lenses, it has sealed its mark as the most preferred choice in the optical industry.

Plastic lenses are light. With this feature, plastic lenses are popular because they will not be heavy inside the glasses frame and permit for an easy fit in any type of glasses frame. In addition, plastic glasses are cheap and easy to obtain in desired amounts. So, they are affordable for most people. Plastic lenses are very durable. So, they do not shatter easily on impact which makes it a great choice for individuals who are active or tend to drop their glasses often.

However, compared with other lens materials, plastic lenses are usually thick due to their low index of refraction. The soft feature of plastic glasses makes them susceptible to scratching from a sharp object and why scratch-resistant coating is applied to form an additional protective layer. Plastic lenses do not provide ultraviolet protection.


Frame Selection of Progressive Sunglasses

Choose a proper frame range. Only if the frame is not very large and beveled, the frame can be very flat. Because the distance from the glazed to the optical center of a progressive multi-focus lens is 19-17 mm, and the distance between the edges of the frame will be no less than 28 mm if the area inside the lens can be used at close range while maintaining the far sighting field.



What Is Anti-Reflective Coating?

Anti-reflective coating, also known as AR, anti-glare, no-glare, or glare-free coating, can provide benefits to your vision. Anti-reflective coating is added to lenses to reduce glare caused by light hitting the back of the lenses.

Anti-reflective coating is designed to eliminate all reflections from the front and back surfaces of your lenses. Without bothersome reflections, more light is able to pass through your lenses which optimizes your vision. So, anti-reflective lenses can improve vision and make your eyeglasses more visually attractive.


Types of Single Vision Lenses

Single vision lenses come in several different types including the 1.59 polycarbonate single vision, 1.57 mid-index single vision and polarized single vision.

1.59 polycarbonate single vision lenses are characterized by their durability and impact resistance. They often include an anti-scratch coating or anti-reflective coating. This lens is much lighter and thinner than a traditional plastic lens, and it blocks the sun’s harmful UV, offering maximum UV protection.

1.57 mid-index single vision lenses are thinner than regular plastic and moderately lighter and stronger. They come with an anti-scratch coating or anti-reflective coating. These lenses are an ideal option for people with relatively higher prescriptions. But they are thicker than the polycarbonate lenses.

Polarized single vision lenses are sunglasses that protect your eyes from light that bounces off smooth, highly reflective surfaces like asphalt, snow, and water. These lenses work by controlling certain light properties and limiting specific wavelengths. They boast a vertical filter that does not allow horizontal glare to pass through.



The length of the temple is important.

The glasses should fit snugly over and behind the ears. If they clip behind the ear, mostly, the arm might be too short. The arms of your glasses should be straight back toward your ears, touching only the side of your head, just in front of your ears. If the temple bends too soon, it pushes the glasses under the nose, putting too much pressure on the bridge of the nose and causing a headache.


Prepare a few pairs of glasses

Many people now have a 'reserve' of glasses. For example, you can choose two pairs of glasses. One pair is for daily use, and the style should be relatively simple and traditional. The other pair is for use at gatherings or weekends and can be as cool as you want. The more conservative style is a thin and bright metal frame that matches the shape of your face. For the other pair, you can choose a flat plastic frame or a shiny polished metal frame with a unique shape.

A round face fits on a square frame.

The human face of a round face is shorter. So they had better match the slender frames that take curves slightly to reconcile the whole feeling. Angular and square frames are helpful to modify facial lines (prominent longitudinal lines). This can promote strengths and avoid weaknesses so that your face appears contour.
