Standard non-polarized sunglass lenses are used to reducing the amount of visible light that enters the eye. Polarized sunglasses help in improving the visual sharpness and enhancing vision. These glasses make use of vertically aligned filters that helps in blockage of unwanted horizontally polarized light and thus allows useful vertical lights to enter into the eye. Polarized lenses are produced by using techniques such as molding, injection, vacuum forming and casting. Polaroid Eyewear also makes use of press-polishing forming which is a newly developed technology i.e. Resultant lenses are optically correct as they taper towards the edges and thicker in the center. Few of the polarized lenses have met the international standards such as Australian AS/NZS1067, European EN1836, American ANSI Z80.3, Chinese GB10810, and PTX4000. However, there are a few restrictions to polarized glasses, as they are not supposed to be used in the aviation environment, as it may reduce the visibility of instruments that are incorporated anti-glare filters.

Lens Material Insights On the basis of the lens material the Plano sunglasses market is broken down into polyurethane, CR-39 or allyl diglycol carbonate (ADC), polycarbonate, and others such as glass and nylon. Consumers focus on the water resistant lenses which are not prone to cracking and breaking. CR-39 held the largest market share as in 2012, due to its cost effectiveness and durability. It also accounted for 40.8% of the overall market share in the same year. Although the Polycarbonate lenses are lightweight and superior impact resistance, they have less optical clarity and are lower scratch resistance. Despite the fact that glass contributes to the highest optical clarity still it accounted for a small percentage of the market and is further expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.4% over the forecast period which is lower than the global average. Though glass lenses provide the highest optical clarity and scratch resistance, they are more expensive and are not very impact resistant. Sunglasses have tints so as to reduce the brightness. Green, gray and brown tints are color neutral. Gray lenses are recommended for ensuring color recognition. Other tints comprise rose, mirrored or yellow/amber. Major frame materials used in Plano sunglass production include metal, nylon and zyl.
