Polycarbonate Lenses -Important? By: Greg Round, Monday 20 December 2010

Why a quality lens is so Important!

And could possibly save you your sight as well!

Kontrol Sports glasses ONLY use "Polycarbonate" to manufacture lenses for our range of eyewear!

WHY!

Because of these key points
  • Polycarbonate is strong- almost unbreakable
  • Polycarbonate will not shatter
  • Polycarbonate is UV400 protective from the suns rays
  • Polycarbonate is lighter
  • Polycarbonate will not distort vision
It is true, Acrylic is 17% stronger than Glass ,but polycarbonate is nearly unbreakable and will not shatter like Acrylic will in the event of an accident while wearing eyewear- imagine shards of plastic in an eye!

Polycarbonate is also just one-third the weight of acrylic, or one-sixth as heavy as glass, and the only drawback is that it is more expensive than either acrylic or glass.

Thin polycarbonate lenses enhance vision beautifully without distorting the face or the size of the eye. And yet this thin lens is virtual indestructible, a very important safety factor for children and active adults.
Polycarbonate lenses are also used in quality sunglasses that incorporate filters to block ultra-violet (UV 400) rays.
The lenses can also be polarized to block glare, and their high impact resistance makes them perfect for sports.

"Kontrol Sports Eyewear" choose polycarbonate for all of our Eyewear because it can be easily shaped without problems like cracking or splitting, resulting in extremely lightweight, distortion-free, fashionable glasses. Compare our prices - you needn't pay mega dollars either to get the best materials for your eyewear or sunglasses- Click Here

Buy with knowledge and not always price objectives, because Glasses made from poor quality materials may look the same but can make you feel dizzy or upon impact , shatter and splinter.... I know I dont want that near my eyes!!!
