Polycarbonate glasses
cover a wide range of eye wear, from correction eyeglasses,
sunglasses, sports glasses to children's eyeglasses. This was developed
during the 1980s by astronauts for response to the demand for
lightweight, impact-resistant lenses. Also, polycarbonate glasses are
perfect for rimless spectacles since this come from solid material
and is then melted and rapidly injected into a mold, unlike other
usual plastic lenses.

Polycarbonate glasses offer
several advantages:
- It is 1/6 lighter than glass and 1/3 than acrylic.
- It has higher impact resistance of about 200 times making it more appropriate for eye wear meeting extreme activities like sports. In an article by Crystal Shwanke of Polycarbonate Lens Repair, she stated that “when they do "shatter" they do so in a way that prevents small pieces of the material from finding its way into your eyes,” proves the safety of polycarbonate glasses.
- Though this material is robust, this still needs frames to hold them to be placed on your eyes. You just have to visit your optician so that proper fitting can be made.
- It is equipped with natural UV filter which helps protect the eyes from the sun's damaging UV rays so there is no need for an extra budget for UV coating.
- One lap side of polycarbonate glass is that it is not scratch resistant, so the extra budget for UV coating goes to the scratch-resistant coating.
