what are pc lenses in eyewear?

-

PC lenses are polycarbonate lenses. Since the main material of this lens is polycarbonate, this material is widely used in the eyewear industry. This kind of lens looks very thin and light in weight, so most people call it a space lens, so that the characteristics of the material can be described more vividly. We know that most high-end eyewear, such as acetate eyewear, metal eyewear, titanium eyewear and horn eyewear, use CR39 lenses or nylon lenses. What frames materials will PC lenses be used for and what are their features?

Thin and light, also called space lens

Feature of PC lenses 1: PC lens is also a resin material, but its weight is very light, 37% lighter than common resin lenses, which can relieve the pressure of the lens on the bridge of the nose. And the lens is very thin. 

Feature of PC lenses 2: Good impact resistance. Everyone is familiar with resin lenses, which have better impact resistance, but the impact resistance of PC lenses is far greater than that of resin lenses. PC lenses are 10 times stronger than traditional resin lenses in impact resistance and 60 times stronger than glass lenses. They are the most impact-resistant lenses in the world. This material is thickened and commonly known as bulletproof glass. 

Explosion-proof resistance, commonly known as bulletproof glass after thickening

Feature of PC lenses 3: Effective anti-ultraviolet rays. The material of the PC lens itself has the function of UV protection,No matter whether it is coated or uncoated, it has the function of UV protection, while other lenses need to be coated or added with UV powder to prevent UV. It can prevent eye diseases such as cataracts. 

Feature of PC lenses 4: PC lenses are suitable for children, athletes, police officers, drivers and other people. 

Feature of PC lenses 5: The surface of the PC lens is very smooth, which can reduce the internal scattering of the lens and reduce the damage of light to the retina. The disadvantages of PC lenses:PC lenses are easily deformed by heat, and the light transmittance of PC lenses is slightly worse than CR39 and nylon lenses. At the same time, PC lenses are easy to break if they are subjected to uneven force on the edge for a long time. This is also one of the main reasons affecting the use of PC lenses.

The process of PC lens: It is similar to nylon lens. First, make injection molds (such as different specifications, cambers, thicknesses, etc.), and then use PC materials for injection molding. Various colors can be added to the PC material, or it can be coated with various coating layers on the surface like a nylon lenses.

Take care of you PC lens: The maintenance of PC lenses is also very important. Incorrect maintenance will only increase a variety of other hazards. The cloth used for wiping the lens must be soft. If it is not soft, the lens may be scratched. When wiping PC lenses, use cotton lens cloth, but do not wipe the lenses frequently, because PC is neutral. Frequent wiping will generate static electricity and absorb oily smoke in the air, which will damage the essence of the lens. When cleaning, use alcohol or a neutral lotion to wipe, then rinse with water, and finally use a cotton lens cloth or a soft paper towel to dry the water.

PC lens is also one of the most common lens. It is widely used in a variety of injection eyewear, TR90 eyewear and low-end metal eyewear and other frames.

Why do the prices of glasses vary so much?

Some people spend tens of yuan to buy a pair of eyewear , some people spend thousands of yuan to buy a pair of glasses, and some even tens of thousands of yuan. Why do the prices of glasses vary so much? Based on the experience accumulated in our daily life, we can first think of the first factor: the quality is different. The same product, even if the same material is used, the difference in production process and the ability to control details will still lead to differences in quality. Good quality glasses are naturally more expensive. In addition to quality reasons, what other reasons? After two years in the eyewear industry, I would like to introduce to you: 2、the frame material is different, the lens material is different. Frame material is different: At present, the commonly used frame materials mainly include natural materials such as plastic,cellulose acetate, metal, titanium and horn. Glasses made of these materials are called as the names suggest: plastic glasses, acetate eye

Why are the thicknesses of the lenses different?

Before that, we have talked about the acetate eyewear, metal eyewear, titanium eyewear in detail, including the related knowledge of wood eyewear and buffalo horn eyewear later. Now more and more people with myopia, when conditions permit, myopia patients want to wear a pair of light and thin glasses. Wearing thin and light glasses for a long time will not press the nose and tire the ears. So why is the thickness of the lens different? Below I have roughly summarized several aspects that affect the thickness of the lens, please watch. 1: The size of the glasses frame. Assuming your interpupillary distance is 60, and the frame's interpupillary distance is 70, divide by 2 and you should move the center point by 5mm. The amount of heart shift is what really determines the thickness in essence. Myopic lenses are thin at the center and thick at the edges. So the more you get to the edge, the thicker you get. In theory, the closer your interpupillary distance is to the frame's inte

How to Make Wood Glasses

How to make wooden glasses ? Before clarifying this problem, let's first understand what wood glasses are. Wooden glasses are glasses made of wood as raw materials and processed through production. Just like horn glasses, this kind of glasses made of pure natural materials has a different style from our common acetate glasses or metal glasses, showing different textures, and is also loved by many people. Since the material is natural, each pair of glasses has a different texture. It can be said that each pair of wood glasses is unique. You will not find two pairs of wooden glasses with exactly the same texture in this world. Now, let's take a look at how wood glasses (including wood sunglasses and wood optical glasses) are made. The raw materials of wooden glasses are mainly beech, red sandalwood, white wood and imported mahogany, etc. The colors are also very different, and the characteristics of each wood are also different. For example, the characteristics of red sandalwoo
