Polycarbonate (Poly) Lenses – Ultra-Tough, Thin & Lightweight Vision (1.59 Index)
When safety, durability, and lightweight comfort matter most, Polycarbonate (Poly) Lenses are the ultimate choice. Originally developed for aerospace helmet visors and safety glass, polycarbonate is an exceptionally tough material that provides unmatched impact resistance without adding heavy bulk to your eyewear.
Crafted with an advanced 1.59 Mid-Index material, these lenses are up to 20% thinner and 30% lighter than traditional standard plastic (CR-39) lenses. Whether for active sports, rimless/semi-rimless frame styles, or everyday wear, Poly lenses deliver crystal-clear vision with maximum eye protection.
