Polycarbonate Lenses
Impact-resistant, lightweight, and built-in UV protection
What is Polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate was originally developed for aerospace applications and is now used extensively in eyewear. It's the same impact-resistant material used in bulletproof glass and astronaut helmet visors.
Polycarbonate lenses are up to 10 times more impact-resistant than standard plastic or glass lenses, making them the safest choice for children, athletes, and active lifestyles.
