Sunglass Lens Materials
Sunglass lenses are made of glass, plastic, or SR-91. Glass lenses offer optical clarity and scratch resistance, but are heavier than plastic.
Lenses and Vision Clarity
The lenses directly affect vision clarity, protection level, and performance. Mirrored lenses feature thin, metal material. A major advantage is glare reduction, making driving and sports more comfortable. However, disadvantages include difficulty viewing LCD screens.
Sunglasses Materials and Choices
Finding the right sunglasses depends on activities, budget and materials. Frame materials also matter, mainly metal and plastics. Metals like titanium and aluminum are pricier but very durable, whereas metals are durable yet lightweight. Unconventional materials like wood are also used for their eco-friendly, unique textures.
Frame Materials
Frames use plastics or metals. Zylonite is the most common plastic, being the least expensive option.
Impact of Material on Price
What material are cheap sunglasses made of? Typically, affordable sunglasses use acrylic because it’s less expensive but also less durable compared to other materials.
All sunglasses filter UVA and UVB rays, and the choice of materials greatly depends on personal preferences, specific needs, and budget constraints.
