Possible effects of driver's lens color on driving
Color plays a very important role in your everyday driving experience -- red, yellow, and green traffic lights, among many other signs and signals, are designed to grab your attention and keep you safe. If everything you see is yellow, you may make the wrong decision at the red light and may cause an accident. To keep your vision clear in night and day conditions, anti-glare night driving glasses are not just for night driving.
What Are Polycarbonate Glasses?
Polycarbonate was developed in the 1970s for aerospace applications and is currently used for the helmet visors of astronauts and for space shuttle windscreens.
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 are thinner and lighter than regular plastic lenses. They also provide 100 percent UV protection and are up to 10 times more impact-resistance than plastic or glasses lenses.
In addition, Polycarbonate lens provides clearer and more comfortable vision if anti-reflective coating is applied to the lenses, which can eliminate distracting lens reflections that interfere with vision, particularly when driving at night or in other low-light conditions when glare sources are present.
After learning some basic information about polycarbonate glasses, we will show you the advantages and disadvantages of polycarbonate lens.
Types of aspheric lenses
There are two types of aspheric lenses: single aspheric surface (single aspheric surface for short, different from the outer aspheric surface and inner aspheric surface) and double aspheric surface (double aspheric surface for short). For the outer aspheric surface, convex is an aspheric surface and concave is a spherical surface. For the inner aspheric surface, a convex surface is a sphere, and a concave surface is an aspheric surface. In addition to correcting aberrations, the double aspheric lens also improves the effective field of vision compared to the single aspheric surface. When people's eyes look through the edge of the lens to see things, like driving when looking at the reflective mirror, it often affects vision because of the large aberration at the edge of the lens. Previous designs of aspheric plates have analyzed a single ray of light passing through the center of the pupil. Wavefront technology controls the entire beam of light passing through the pupil, eliminating high-order aberrations.
TR90 spectacle frame
TR90 is a composite super-elastic resin material first invented by Koreans and used in the manufacture of glasses. Its characteristics are lightweight, excellent flexibility, and slightly lighter than pure titanium. After this material is being made into a finished product, it is non-adjustable. The application is basically injection molding. Koreans are the first to apply to glasses production, which has been popular for a few years, and then popular in the Japanese market. Now it is basically mass-produced in China. The high-end high-quality TR90 spectacle frames are produced in Shenzhen, and the low-end low-quality ones are in Wenzhou because they are much cheaper.
Do I need to buy anti-blue light glasses?
Nowadays, mobile phones and computers are used more and more frequently. Whether at work or in life, it is hard to imagine what life would be like without these electronic products. It is impossible to protect the eyes without using these products. Especially on mobile phones, the current LED screen technology has gradually replaced LCD screens, and the self-luminous characteristics have also caused serious fatigue to the eyes, and there is no need to say that blue light is harmful to the eyes. At present, the truly harmful blue light is the wavelength. In the blue light of 400 to 440 nanometers, this blue light easily causes eyesight fatigue. In the case of heavy use, try to reduce the damage to the eyes and protect the eyes, which is also the main reason for motivating consumers to buy anti-blue glasses.
The production process of titanium frames is complicated.
The production of titanium frames requires special processing equipment, special welding technology, and electroplating technology, which has many processing procedures and high production costs. In particular, some glasses choose the most difficult pure titanium andβtitanium. Titanium is very soft and very sticky, and very lively at high temperatures,so the processing is very difficult.
Acetate frame and plastic frame
What is the difference between acetate frame and a plastic frame? Acetate frames are lighter and generally considered to be better than plastic frames. Acetate is known for its hypoallergenicity, so it is a popular choice for people with sensitive skin. Unlike some plastic or metal frames, they can cause allergic reactions.
- The manufacturing process makes the plastic frame more brittle than the acetate frame.
- If the temple does not have a metal bracket, it is difficult to adjust the plastic glasses.
- There are fewer choices of colors and patterns for plastic frame
However, you will notice that acetate frames are generally more expensive than ordinary plastic frames. Spectacle frames are daily necessities that we use for a long time. Therefore, durability is essential, and the life span of the acetate frame is longer.
