Polycarbonate Lenses and Children’s Frames

Tough, resilient, impact resistant and UV protected, polycarbonate lenses are the best choice for your child’s rimless frames. At the Vision-2-Learn Centre, Dr. Lazarus prefers to use polycarbonate lenses, especially in cases where the extra durability afforded by these lenses will protect his patients from potentially dangerous lens fracturing.

Advantages of Polycarbonate Lenses:

- Thinner design
- 100% UV protection
- Lightweight comfort
- High level impact resistance
- Slimmer design
- Highly resilient material

Polycarbonate lenses are thinner and lighter than regular plastic lenses. They offer 100% protection from harmful UV light and are 10 times more impact-resistant than conventional plastic or glass lenses. These factors make polycarbonate lenses an excellent choice for children’s eyewear, protective eyewear and sunglasses
