A zirconium or silicon layer is used to coat the organic lenses (CR 39/polycarbonate) to make them scratch resistant.
These lenses contain a special filter that blocks this type of intense reflected light, reducing glare and easing stress on the eyes resulting in better clarity overall. Better contrast results in improved safety for many outdoor activities. Your eyes are virtually 100 per cent protected from UVA and UVB rays.

The most common type of the prescription lens, this type of lens has only one single field of vision or one prescription power throughout the entire lens. These lenses help correct either farsightedness (hyperopia) or near-sightedness (myopia).
When you need a lens to see things at a distance and close by, you can opt for these lenses. Bifocal lenses are those that have two foci – distance and near. The lenses have two areas divided by a visible line – the larger area is for viewing distance while the small segment is for reading.
Progressive lenses are those lenses that have multiple foci, and these are seamless with no demarcation mark. The power of progressive lenses gradually changes from one point to another on the lens surface, providing you with the correct lens power to view objects clearly no matter what the distance.
