I have some questions. Do sunglasses loose their UV 400 protection over time? Does sun exposure fade the UV protection on theglasses through irradiation? Fo Polycarbonate loose their inherent UV protection over time with UV exposure? I have understood Polycarbonate is an inherent safe material regards never loosing its UV protection while CR 39 lenses loose their UV 400 coating after 2 years of sun exposure. I live in a semi desert Zone like Arizona or New Mexico is were the sun is allways very strong. I understood Polycarbonate is the best material for UV safety (never loosing it without the wearer notice it) sincethe material itself blocks 97% of the UV rays. What do you say?
@P1015532oni9 ай бұрын
I’m a war veteran. We were not allowed to wear sunglasses that were not polycarbonate during operations. People in the glasses industry crap on polycarbonate but only polycarbonate are shatter-proof. Riot shields are made of polycarbonate. Polycarbonate stops shrapnel. Polycarbonate are what shooting glasses are made off. I love polycarbonate because I don’t like to baby my glasses. Edit: yes, and heard they don’t lose the UV400 protection also.

It (pleasantly) surprised me to hear you recommend high quality glass lenses. My optician discouraged me from wearing my Maui Jim’s because of the glass, citing safety reasons...because a blow to the glass could potentially shatter the glass and pierce the eye. I would agree if the incidence of that happening is considerable but I haven’t heard it happening to anyone that I know and the fact you recommend glass lenses must mean the incidence is very low? I think that if he used the same logic, I shouldn’t drive a car because I could get killed in an accident...which is a risk but rather low. Would you say that’s fair to say that the risk of eye injury from the glass breaking is low?
@young_dementia2 жыл бұрын
He probably discouraged it because you could sue him if something did happen and he didn't say anything. That's why, even though glass is optically the best, most places don't sell them because they don't want to deal with something actually happening.

Hey thanks and good question. There may not be a specific healing benefit from tinted lenses but glasses with more of an amber or yellow tint are sometimes recommended for people with retinal disease as the filtering of blue light “may” help protect the retina from excessive oxidative stress.

Video suggestion: "How to buy sport goggles for adults". Whenever shopping for sport goggles, I find most shops only have frames for children. They will try to sell me the largest child's size. "No thanks". And are absolutely clueless about appropriate frames - will not shatter on impact by a ball, shuttlecock, racket, indoor hockey, etc. So the challenge I am having is: frames for adults & how to stop fogging. Is this true? The higher the index, the more difficult it is to fit the lens into sport goggles since most sport goggles are curved.

Unfortunately Randolph Engineering won’t appeal to everyone. It’s a brand steeped in history with its connection to the US military, and with its aviator collection reflecting such. Its offerings are therefore quite narrow and won’t appeal to many seeking to purchase fashion eye wear rather than functional eyewear. I suppose Randolph prefers to stick to what they do best instead of competing with the likes of Luxottica. I really wish they would offer more choices in frames, and either offering prescription sunglasses or simple clipon’s to fit standard prescription aviators. And that’s a shame, since they are one of the very few remaining American companies whose products are totally fabricated in the USA.

I got my first Randolph sunglasses few days ago. Aviator Bright Chrome with American Gray non-polarized lenses for flying airplanes. The P3 with Northern Lights is in my wishlist along with the Concorde with Cobalt lenses. I have Ray-bans with standard polarized and chromance lenses and a Oakley with polarized Prizm lenses and they are all really good but the Skytec Glass lenses are in another level. You can't explain the difference but you feel somehow it's better. I just don't like it more because it isn't polarized (but had to be that way). It's the only one I can wear inside my motorcycle helmet because if you wear polarized ones with the helmet face shield you gonna feel really sick because this combination distorts the image and colors. It doesn't happen if the lenses are not polarized. I learned that in the hard way. Another point for Randolph is the baionet temple design who makes it very easy to wear with headsets or any type of helmet.

Hi i'm a complete noob at sunglasses, i bought a pair of Ray-Ban Caravan last year, they have the classic green Ray-Ban lens and are not polarized, and unfortunately they're not enough for me as i have quite sensitive eyes (i have mild autism which causes me to have very large pupils most of the time so going out on a sunny day kinda feels like being on an inhospitable planet) i still have to squint a bit while wearing them, and also get red and watery eyes by just staying in the sun for a few minutes (even while wearing sunglasses). I was considering a pair of Randolph Aviators (that's how i got here) with grey polarized lenses, do you think that's going to be enough for sensitive eyes or maybe i should go for the cobalt or green lenses?

Most photochromic glasses require UV to darken. In the car the windows block this so your lenses don't get darker.
