MINERAL LENS- LENS CAN EITHER BE MADE FROM
PLASTIC OR REAL GLASS SO CALLED MINERAL/SILICATE LENS

REAL GLASS LENS PLASTIC LENS

FOR ACTIVE LIFE STYLE IT IS BEST
CHOICE FOR …
SPORTS PERSONS
CHILDREN
YOUNGSTERS
BENIFITS
OPTIMAL PROTECTION PROTECTION FROM UV
FOR YOUR EYES RAYS
IMPACT RESISTANCE LENS ALSO
KNOWN AS
• TEMPERED GLASS LENS
PROCESS
GLASS WASHED AND THEN HEATED
HEAT MUST BE 650°C {THE SOFTING POINT }
THEN COOLED WITH COLD AIR.
QUENCHING WITH FORCED COLD AIR.
BY THE QUENCHING SETS UP THE TENSION
AND COMPRESSION ZONE.
THE GLASS CONTINUES DOWN THE
ROLLERS TO COOL MORE AND BE PACKED
FOR SHIPPING.
TEMPERED GLASS
HOW TEST IMPACT RESISTANCE OF
LENS?
DROP BALL TEST.
EXAMPLE OF IMPACT RESITANCE
LENS
POLYCARBONATE
LENS TRIVEX LENS
POLYCARBONATE LENS
 10 TIMES MORE IMPACT RESISTANCE THAN
PLASTIC AND GLASS LENSES
 100% PROTECTION FROM HARMFUL UV RAYS.
 LIGHTWEIGHT
 **ESSILOR’S POLYCARBONATE LENSES ARE
20% THINNER, 30%LIGHTER, AND 12X MORE
IMPACT RESISTANCE THAN STANDARD
PLASTIC LENS.
TRIVEX LENS
 10 TIMES MORE IMPACT RESISTANCE THAN
PLASTIC AND GLASS LENSES
 100% PROTECTION FROM HARMFUL UV RAYS
 HIGHER ABBE VALUE- LOW DISPERSTION.
QUESTIONS
1. HOW CAN YOU TEST THE IMPACT
RESISTANCE OF LENS?
2. WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGE OF
IMPACT RESISTANCE LENS?
3. REFRACTIVE INDEX OF POLYCARBONATE?
4. REFRACTIVE INDEX OF TRIVEX?
5. POLYCARBONATE AND TRIVEX – WHICH IS
LIGHTER AND WHY?
