1.Why you need PC lens for safety spectacles??? |
| |
Ans:
There are three different material that usually apply in spectacles, glass, CR-39 Resin and Polycarbonate(PC).
According to European and American standard, the most common and good performance material in safety spectacle is Polycarbonate. PC lens is known as impact resistant, anti-scratch, UV protection, light weight, and economic price.
It is very dangerous to use Acrylic or plastic material as safety spectacle. Acrylic could not against scratch, impact and UVA radiation. Moreover, it is easy become deformed. And it will result in missing focus. |

2. What is UV light? does our spectacle provide UV protection?? |
| |
Ans:
Ultra-Violet radiation is divided into UVC(100~280nm), UVB(290~315nm) and UVA(315~380nm).
Sudden intense UVA and UVB exposure can cause a ˇ§flash burnˇ¨, This makes the cornea and iris sore for a day or two, such as a sunburn on the skin.
With enough exposure, the cornea turns hazy white, sometimes beyond its ability to heal. This is the mechanism of snow blindness. It also will cause Cataract.
However, this could be prevent by wearing snuggles or safety spectacles. All spectacle lens of Parkson Safety have UV380 treatment, which provide almost 100% protection for your eyes, for UVA and UVB both hazard radiation.
We also provide UV400 treatment for free, but UV400 lens only needed when UV radiation source is significant. |
