Muovilasit

Muovilasit, often referred to as plastic lenses, are a type of eyeglass lens made from various plastic materials. Unlike traditional glass lenses, plastic lenses offer several advantages that have made them increasingly popular. They are significantly lighter than glass, which can greatly improve wearer comfort, especially for those with strong prescriptions or who wear glasses for extended periods. This reduced weight also means less pressure on the nose and ears.

Another key benefit of muovilasit is their impact resistance. Plastic materials are inherently more shatter-resistant than glass, making them a safer choice, particularly for children and active individuals. This improved durability reduces the risk of lens breakage and injury. Despite being lighter and more impact-resistant, modern plastic lenses can be manufactured with excellent optical clarity.

Common materials used for muovilasit include polycarbonate and high-index plastics. Polycarbonate is known for its exceptional impact resistance and is often used for safety glasses and children's eyewear. High-index plastics are thinner and lighter than standard plastic lenses, making them ideal for individuals with higher prescription powers, as they reduce the overall thickness and weight of the spectacles. Most muovilasit also come with various coatings, such as anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, and UV-protective coatings, to enhance their performance and longevity.
