Polycarbonate Lenses

[black glasses frames]

Most kids' eyeglasses are made of polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is an impact-resistant material that is also used in safety lenses. These special lenses do not shatter on impact like glass or regular plastic lenses, reducing the chance of eye injuries in active kids. Polycarbonate is also thinner and lighter in weight than regular plastic lenses, giving the eyeglasses a better cosmetic appearance and more comfort for the kid wearing them. Polycarbonate lenses also have an added bonus: built-in ultraviolet sun protection.
