Lens Materials
Airwear provides a unique combination of benefits that make it the ideal choice for today’s active lifestyles, and provides the wearer with superior comfort and performance. Airwear lenses are 43% lighter and 10 times more impact resistant than standard plastic lenses, so they have the lightness and strength you need in a lens while also providing the enhanced comfort and cosmetic appearance you desire.
Airwear lenses are made from polycarbonate plastic—which is found everywhere from your car to your home to essential accessories such as eyeglasses that make our lives better. From DVDs and Apple iMacs to many aesthetic applications including eyeglass lenses, consumers want the technology of tomorrow, with the style of tomorrow, and polycarbonate does just that.
Airwear lenses are not only lighter in weight and thinner than traditional plastic lenses, they also offer scratch-resistance, ultraviolet protection and are very impact-resistant. In fact, weight/lightness was rated as the most important quality of a lens in a recent consumer survey†.
For people who rely on their spectacles for daily use, having the right lens is paramount. The lenses must be comfortable yet robust enough to cope with all daily activities, from sport right through to driving. Click here to learn more
