How much UV light do SunSensors lenses block?
SunSensors lenses provide natural UV absorption and meet the rigorous sunglass standards, as stated in ANSI Z80.3. SunSensors gray and brown lenses block 100% of UVB, which is the radiation that has been linked to cataracts and other chronic eye conditions, and at least 97.5% of UVA. • Has Corning done any real world testing of SunSensors lenses? Yes. Real world testing is the cornerstone of Corning’s proprietary research and development process and ensures product features and benefits exceed both patient and dispenser expectations. Corning conducted an extensive nationwide patient wearer test in a wide range of climates that included patients who wore clear eyeglass lenses, contact lenses and photochromic lenses. • What is the lens material density, weight? SunSensors lens material is ultra lightweight, for the ultimate in patient comfort. Corning’s new, patented plastic lens material, with a density of 1.17 grams/cc, is lighter weight than polycarbonate and standard resin materials.
