Not so long ago, most optical glasses were made of mineral glass. But technological change has enabled the advent of optical glasses much more comfortable to wear than glass because of their lightness. Unlike some biases, these new optical glasses made of organic material also offer a good optical quality as glass.

The main drawback organic glass was their greater vulnerability to scratches. But now, thanks to treatment resistant scratch-resistant, organic lenses offer scratch resistance comparable to that of glass, without affecting their optical quality. Organic glasses can receive a wide range of treatments and are available in various geometries and types of organics. We are talking about glasses treated anti-glare, thinned, aspheric, tinted, photochromic, polycarbonate and treated against UV rays.

Look a little more detail, each of the available treatments.

In addition, certain processes will give a much more resistant than others. It is essential to ask the right questions when choosing a treatment. Your optician optometrist and his staff will advise you properly and do suggest that treatment of the highest quality.

The reflections of light that appear on non-treated glass can be seen as annoying or unsightly by those around you and, for the wearer of glasses, reflections can cause significant inconvenience.

Thus, the intensity of the color of a solar telescope gives no indication of its ability to protect against UV rays.

Protection against the glare caused by visible light is provided by solar tint glass. More glass is dark, the more it will reduce the glare. A uniform color will provide a more complete protection that a graduated tint. The color of the color is chosen according to the activities carried out.  Your optometrist will advise you on the color best suited to your needs.

The organic photochromic lenses include protection against ultraviolet rays and a treatment against scratches. This type of glass is very useful if you do not want to have two pairs of glasses, a clear and another sun. It is important to know that they are less efficient cars.
