OPTICAL CLARITY: Glass has more optical clarity than plastic and offers little to no distortion. UV PROTECTION: Regular plastic eyeglass lenses block most UV light, but adding a UV-blocking dye boosts UV protection to 100 percent for added safety. LONGEVITY: Due to its construction, glass is more durable than optical plastic.
Are noticeably lighter and thinner than regular plastic lenses. Block 100% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. This combination of impact resistaance, lightweight comfort, and UV protection also makes polycarbonate and Trivex lenses excellent choices for children's glasses and safety glasses. Polycarbonate lenses
protection against ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths present in natural light and certain types of man-made lighting. PET can block wavelengths shorter than 315nm, but transmits light in the UVA spectral region, between wavelengths of 315nm and 400nm. Many of today’s beverages are sensitive to UV light, or contain ingredients that
Plastic bottles made of ‘clear’ PET will pass most of the UVA radiation into the water inside for eventual purification (~ 6 hours in full sunlight of fairly clear water; bottle no larger than 2 liters). Glass on the other hand is a pretty good UV blocker; but it depends on the exact type of glass, its thickness, and the UV band.
Window films, like vehicle darkening tints or window films for businesses, are engineered to filter out UV radiation. This is achieved through the addition of microscopic particles such as nano-ceramic particles in the tint. These particles reflect and filter out the Ultraviolet wavelength, which means filtering out UV rays.
