Lens Safety

Lenses of poor quality will make your eyes work harder, and can cause your eyes to tear, squint, or blink. All lenses should be impact-resistant and be made of optical-quality glass or plastic, both of which can be purchased with or without a prescription. Impact-resistant does not mean the lenses are shatterproof or unbreakable. It means that they can withstand moderate impact.

Eyewear for sports with flying balls or physical impact should be made of polycarbonate. This is the most shatter-resistant material available today. Polycarbonate is also the best choice for children's sunglasses.
