A type of eyeglass lens constructed of a durable yet lightweight plastic is known as a polycarbonate lens. They have small profiles, are built to endure impact, cure vision problems, and offer your glasses a sleek appeal. In fact, we love polycarbonate lenses so much that they come standard in every Warby Parker frame.
polycarbonate eyeglass lenses were developed in response to consumer demand for lightweight, impact-resistant lenses. Since that time, children’s eyeglasses, sports goggles, and safety glasses have all come standard with polycarbonate lenses.
Since their introduction, polycarbonate lenses have been considered a superior option to other plastic lenses. Compared to the earlier varieties of plastic lenses, they are lighter, thinner, and more impact-resistant.
Polycarbonate lenses can be used in safety glasses or goggles as well as regular prescription glasses because they are both transparent and strong. They are also the preferred lens for youngsters and those who are very active; you may find them frequently in children’s glasses and sports eyewear.
