Polycarbonate lenses are a type of eyeglass lens made of a strong yet lightweight plastic that is shatter-resistant and impact-resistant. They are designed to withstand impact, correct vision issues, and give glasses a streamlined appearance. Polycarbonate lenses are thinner and lighter than glass or standard plastic lenses, making them more comfortable to wear. They are also customizable, and various coatings can be applied to them, such as anti-glare or blue-light filtering coats. Polycarbonate lenses are often found in childrens glasses, sports eyewear, and prescription safety glasses. They are also the lens of choice for highly active people and those with strong prescriptions. Polycarbonate lenses are naturally UV protective, and they provide 100% UV protection without requiring an additional coating or treatment.
