The standard AVN lens we use is an impact-resistant polycarbonate material very commonly used in kids eyewear. Our lenses help protect your child's vision by holding up to rough-and-tumble play without cracking or shattering. Many eye care practitioners insist on polycarbonate lenses for children's eyeglasses for safety reasons.
The material is 30% lighter than standard plastic or glass, which makes them more comfortable to wear and less likely to slide down your child's nose. Our lenses also are about 20% thinner than standard plastic or glass lenses, so they are a good choice for anyone who wants slimmer, more attractive lenses. Blue Light Blocking glasses with polycarbonate AVN lenses block over 80% of the most harmful blue light rays (under wavelength 420nm) and also protect your child's eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The polycarbonate material is a natural UV filter, blocking over 99% of the sun's damaging UV rays.
There is also no harsh yellow/orange colored lenses to distort your child's vision. Blue light blocking lenses can also help reduce glare, improve contrast, provide better color perception, and relieve digital eye strain.
