What Is Polycarbonate Lens?
Polycarbonate was invented in the 1970s for aerospace applications and is currently used for the helmet visors of astronauts and for space shuttle windshields.
Polycarbonate lenses were introduced in the early 1980s in response to a demand for lightweight, impact-resistance lenses. Since then, polycarbonate glasses have become standard for safety glasses, sports goggles, and children’s eyewear.
Polycarbonate glasses come with a lot of features such as thin and light and they provide 100% percent UV protection and are up to 10 times more impact-resistance than plastic pr glasses lenses.
What Should You Do If Your Glasses Are Broken?
Professional eyewear repair shops have professional repair tools. It's relatively easy to fix the bent frame by yourself. Still, there are reasons to get a professional to fix them. Your local eyewear repair shop can quickly reshape metal and plastic frames and make sure they fit. Many professional optical shops will make small adjustments free of charge. The frame is completely broken and requires special tools and skills to fix. Frames are too fragile to repair at home, and trying to do so could cause even more damage to your frames. The lenses are damaged and you may need to replace them. Make sure your prescriptions are up to date. If your prescription is not up to date, you need to schedule an eye exam before changing your lenses.
Method of taking off the contact lens
Wash your hands before removing contact lenses, and be careful not to leave long fingernails, to avoid contamination of the lenses by bacteria and nail scratches. Look up, open the upper and lower eyelids with the left index finger and right middle finger. Pinch the middle and lower edge of the lens gently with the thumb and index finger of the right hand, and remove the lens. You can use the index finger first to move the lens down, and then gently pinch the middle and lower edge of the lens with the thumb and index finger belly, and take off the lens.
What is an MR lens?
MR is the brand name of optical lens raw materials produced by Mitsui Chemicals in Japan. MR series is available in three different refractive indices (1.60, 1.67, 1.74): MR-7, MR-8, MR-10, and MR-174. MR-7 and MR-10 have higher thermal deformation temperature and excellent dyeing, which are widely used in the field of sunglasses. MR-8 has the most balanced performance index and is suitable for the production of lenses of any strength. It has the highest market share in lens materials with a refractive index of 1.60. MR-174 is a high refractive index lens material, which is mainly used in the production of ultra-thin lenses.
What's the difference between optical frames and normal frame?
The optical frame is used in optical products, but decorative glasses and fashion frames are not in this category. Optical glasses require even treatment of lens pressure, so the inner wall should be even and smooth. Optical glasses require high levels of ergonomics, lens angle, and so on. The optical frame material is more consistent with the structure of the human body. It is more comfortable to wear without side effects.
The frame of prescription glasses
At present, the more common materials for frames are non-metal and metal. Non-metals mainly include TR90, sheet material, etc., and metals include alloys, titanium, and so on. TR90 and sheet material are actually plastics, but they are firm and are not easy be deformed at room temperature. Also, they have good formability so that they can be made in many fashionable styles. The general alloy material has good firmness and flexibility, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to fade. The pure titanium frame is corrosion-resistant and very strong. It is about 40% lighter than the general alloy frame. It must be welded and electroplated in an oxygen-free state, which requires high equipment and technology. Relatively speaking, the price of TR90 and alloys will be lower, and pure titanium will be more expensive. You can choose according to your budget.
What's the significance of the glasses donation campaign?
The eye loves public welfare activities can increase the public awareness of eye love. China has one of the highest incidence rates of myopia in the world. With the popularity of computers and mobile phones, myopia is becoming more and more common among teenagers. Visual health is a significant component of universal health. Public awareness of eye health needs to be improved. It is the responsibility of an enterprise to support economic and social development and care for the poor and vulnerable groups. Nowadays, the myopia of teenagers is becoming more and more worrying. Good eyesight is not only very important in the learning stage, but also accompanies a person's life, so it is the responsibility and obligation of enterprises to help prevent and control the myopia of teenagers. The glasses donation activity shows the glasses industry's active action and professional spirit of fulfilling social responsibility and advocating social welfare. They can take practical actions to fulfill corporate social responsibility and help teenagers grow up. At the same time, people from all walks of life should take active actions to pay attention to the eyesight health of young people.
