Do you know what Lenticular lenses are?

Lenticular lenses is a process that optimizes the edge thickness of lenses. The goal is to reduce the volume of the thickest part of the lens through physical or design means, making the lens thinner and more aesthetically pleasing overall, while reducing weight and pressure. This process primarily addresses the "beer bottle bottom" appearance often associated with thick edges of high-power lenses, improving wearing comfort and style.

Lenticular lenses are primarily suitable for high-power myopia or narrow-width frames, effectively concealing edge thickness. Due to their diverse advantages, they are suitable for a wide range of applications, including electronics and healthcare. For those who spend extended periods using electronics or working in offices, Lenticular lenses can effectively reduce the harmful effects of electromagnetic waves. Furthermore, for healthcare professionals, the high transmittance of Lenticular lenses can help you observe the doctor's procedures more easily.

So, what are the advantages of Lenticular lenses compared to conventional lenses?

1. Different thickness: The maximum thickness of Lenticular lenses does not exceed 2.8mm, and the higher the degree, the more obvious the thinning effect; while the thickness of conventional lenses is about 3-5mm, especially for high myopia or hyperopia, the edges will be very prominent.

2. Lightweight: Lenticular lenses are lighter, reducing the burden on the nose and ears, making them ideal for those who wear glasses all day. Conventional lenses are heavier and may put pressure on the nose and ears when worn for long periods of time.

3. Wear-resistant and scratch-resistant: Lenticular lenses are stronger and have excellent wear-resistant and scratch-resistant properties due to the hardened surface. This feature allows them to maintain their perfect appearance during long-term wear.

4. Multiple functions:Lenticular lenses are not only wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, but can also effectively block harmful ultraviolet rays and blue light, and have anti-radiation and anti-static functions. Conventional lenses do not have these functions.

Of course, lenticular lenses also have some shortages:

·The more thinning treatment is applied, the more obvious the thinning part of the lens edge will be. However, the edge of a high-power lens itself has aberrations and is prone to deformation. The thinner it is polished, the more obvious the distortion of the edge will sometimes be.

·The manufacturing process of Lenticular lenses will be more complicated and the cost of raw materials will be higher.

·The surface hardness of Lenticular lenses is softer than that of  low-refractive lenses,and scratches are more likely to occur on the surface,which will affect the service life and visual effect of the lenses.
