Different Type of Lenses: How to Choose
In this section, we will list some of the lenses for glasses.
Plastic lenses: In 1947, the Armorlite Lens Company in California introduced the first lightweight plastic lenses. The lenses were made of a plastic polymer called CR-39, because it was the 39th formulation of a thermal-cured plastic developed by PPG Industries in the early 1940s. Plastic lenses are light and low cost.
Polycarbonate lenses: polycarbonate lenses were first introduced in the 1970s and they have become increasingly popular anad remained for a long time. Polycarbonate glasses are slighter and significantly more impact-resistant than CR-39 plastic, making them a preferred material for children’s eyewear, safety glasses, and sports eyewear.
HINDAR blue light blocking glasses
With advanced equipment, system production, and strict management, they adopt German technology and PARUPU lens geometric structure owned by HINDAR OPTICE LAB, which can effectively block various kinds of blue light, ultraviolet light, and other different wavelengths, to protect the health of eyes. Since its inception, Hindar has enjoyed a lot of popularity, and while it has achieved some good results, it has not slowed down and is still striving to become the top brand in the industry.
Feirdio blue light goggles
It can reduce the visual fatigue and discomfort caused by surfing the Internet for a long time, playing games, and working under fluorescent lights, and has the effect of protecting and reducing glare. The low color distortion lenses are optimized to provide the perfect balance for blue light prevention and visual quality. They have blue light prevention, glare reduction, UV blocking, screen flicker prevention, electromagnetic ray blocking lens. The frames of these blue light glasses are made of TR90 material. They're twice as durable as plastic glasses. These blue-blocking glasses are made of reinforced metal hinges to ensure durability and avoid cracking.
What is a photochromic lens?
Photochromic lenses are lenses that become dark when exposed to a particular wavelength of light (usually ultraviolet light), but return to their original transmittance and become clear when no longer illuminated by the light source. Photochromic lenses can be made of glass or resin. The discoloration effect is caused by silver chloride or other halides added to the lens, which are transparent to visible light when not irradiated by ultraviolet light. When irradiated by ultraviolet light, chemical reactions will occur, which will absorb part of the visible light and make the lens show dark. The chemical reaction is reversible, so the lens returns to its original transparent state when it is no longer exposed to UV light.
Why Do Replace New Lenses for Old Frames?
First, if your glasses frame is in good condition, glasses lens replacement is a good choice since it can help you to save money.
Second, if your eyeglasses have been part of your signature look for years, replacing the lenses with your new prescription is smart. Your family, friends, and customers won’t have to get used to a new you.
Anti-fouling Coating
The lens coated with anti-reflection film is pretty prone to stain, and the stain will affect the transmittance of the lens. Microscopically, the anti-reflection film shows a porous structure, therefore, the oil is very easy to soak in it. The solution is to coat a layer of anti-fouling film with anti-oil performance on anti-reflection film. The film is very thin and will not change the optical performance of the anti-fouling film. The material is mainly fluoride. There are two processes, one is the immersion method, one is the vacuum coating method (the most commonly used).
Choose a quality progressive lens.
Superior progressive lenses provide a better viewing experience. They also remove any distortions you might feel when reading what's in front of you. Lenses can also be coated with special coatings. Anti-reflective coating can prevent glare on the road, and anti-scratch coating can reduce wear marks.
