The Advantages of Aspheric Lenses
From the above, you have learned some basic information about aspheric lenses. In this section, we will show you some advantages of the aspherical lens. Apart from the style of aspheric lenses, most people choose them because the following reasons:
- Improved performance
- Spherical aberration correction
- Slimmer and thinner profile
- More frame options
- Improved image quality
- Sleeker profile
- Lightweight and comfortable
- More natural appearance
- Improved peripheral vision
- Multiple lens designs to choose from
So, aspheric lenses come at a lot of advantages. However, everything has two sides. Hence, there are some negative voices of aspherical lens. Therefore, in the following section, we will show you the disadvantages of the aspheric lenses.
The Benefits of Anti-Reflective Coating
After knowing some basic information about anti-reflective coating, you need to know the benefits of anti-reflective glasses.
Anti-reflective glasses enable more light to pass through your lenses to optimize visual acuity with fewer distractions and the lenses look nearly invisible, which enhances your appearance by drawing more attention to your eyes and helping you make better eye contact with others.
In addition, the anti-reflective coating is especially beneficial when used on high-index lenses, which reflect more light than regular lenses. That is to say, the higher the index of refraction of the lens material, the more light that will be reflected from the surface of the lenses.
What’s more, the modern anti-reflective coatings can reduce the reflection of light from eyeglasses, allowing 99.5% of available light to pass through the lenses and enter the eye for good vision.
Because the anti-reflective coating can eliminate the reflections, it can also make your eyeglass lenses look nearly invisible so that people can see your eyes and facial expressions more clearly. Hence, anti-reflective glasses are more attractive and you can look your best in all lighting conditions.
Anti-reflective glasses have sharper vision with less glare when driving at night and greater comfort during prolonged computer use. So, you can find that anti-reflective glasses come with many benefits.
Color process of Contact lenses
Pigment printing process
It refers to the direct printing of pigments or patterns on the inside of the lens and then drying, which is the main production process of poor-quality chromatic contact lenses. Usually, small factories and small workshops use this method. The lens is being phased out because the pigment can easily seep out from the surface during wearing, causing discoloration and staining, and irritation to the eyes, which is a big risk.
Pigment build-in process
To be specific, the lens made by sandwich technology is a three-layer structure, the front and rear are colorless transparent layers, and the middle is a colored layer. After the processing of sandwich technology, the color layer is wrapped in the middle of the front and rear transparent layer, so that the pigment will not contact the eyes, which will not cause irritation and injury to the eyes. The downside of this process, however, is that the lenses are slightly thicker than normal contact lenses and are less oxygen-permeable, so they are not suitable for long-term wear.
The pressed film manufacturing process
This is a relatively new method of a similar sandwich process, and the color (pattern) is also made between the front and rear layers of the lens. But the color (pattern) is used to fill in the film process. During lens curing, the pigment seeps into the material instead of sticking to the surface. It feels as if the lens is covered in color within a single layer. This reduces the middle layer and makes the lens thinner, which naturally makes it more comfortable and permeable to oxygen.
Choose the cost-effective glasses.
Choose your favorite glasses online. Open the shopping website, and select a store with high credibility. Choose your favorite glasses according to the style, lens, frame color, blue light blocking, radiation protection, and other factors, and then communicate with the customer service about the thickness of the lens and other specific details. If you see the frame is not suitable for yourself, you can communicate with customer service ahead of time to see whether you can buy the frame to send freight insurance. If it is not suitable, can we return it for a refund? To buy a store with a high reputation, you can look at the store's good comments and bad reviews. Talk to customer service. Sometimes there are hidden discounts.
Choose high-quality lenses.
As resin lens technology becomes more and more mature now, resin lens has gradually become popular, so the use of resin lens is the trend. Now resin coated lenses are very popular now. There are anti-reflection films and hard films (anti-wear films) anti-UV films. Anti-reflection film can improve the transmittance of light, making people see more clearly, at the same time, because it can reduce the reflection, the lens is more beautiful in appearance. Hard coating films can effectively protect the lens surface from wear and tear and can resist the damage of hard objects, to prolong the life of the lens. UV-resistant films block the harmful ultraviolet rays of sunlight. For example, the UV400 lens is good for engineers who work outdoors for a long time.

What Glasses Are Made Of?
In general, most glasses are made of plastic lenses. Why are glasses lenses made of plastic? In fact, plastic glasses are lighter than traditional glasses lenses used in eyeglasses, which means they are more comfortable to wear. At the same time, it is easy to apply lens coatings like anti-reflective to plastic lenses.
Besides, children’s glasses are also made of plastic because it is more resistant to impact. There are four main types of plastics used to make eyeglasses and sunglasses lenses which are plastic, Trivex, polycarbonate and high-index plastics.
The plastic lenses made from CR-39 were first introduced. CR-39 is an abbreviation for Columbia Resin #39, the 39th plastic of that type made by Columbia Resin.
Then the polycarbonate glasses were invented. Polycarbonate became out of this world once it found use in aeronautics. Polycarbonate is a type of plastic that can be produced as transparent and easily shaped, making it great for glasses lenses. Polycarbonate is impact resistant so that they are a good lens choice for kids. And the polycarbonate lenses have 100% UV protection.
Next, high-index lenses are available. High-index lenses have a high refractive index with a thin lens. Although high-index lenses are thinner, they are heavier due to the higher density of these plastics.
So, what glasses are made of? Most glasses are made of plastics. Then how are glasses made? To get the answer, keep on your reading.
