The lens material of choice.
Today, more fashion lenses are made from hard resin than any other material. And few companies, if any, have SOLA's 40+ years of expertise in manufacturing to meet the industry's demand for high quality, coating compatible hard resin lenses. That's why SOLA UV Gard™ hard resin lenses are the perfect combination of fashion and function.
The ability of UV Gard™ hard resin lenses to readily accept dyes provides color flexibility and versatility unmatched by other lens materials. SOLA's experience in the art and science of tinting results in a range of over 2000 colors, from solids to double gradients for any fashion option.
UV Gard™ hard resin lenses are up to 50% lighter than glass lenses, making them more comfortable and the perfect choice for larger sunglasses. UV Gard™ lenses come in a wide variety of base curves, diameters and thickness too.
SOLA UV Gard™ Hard Resin lenses are durable, exhibiting superior abrasion resistance than competitor products even in an uncoated form. Their ease in processing provides flexibility and choice unequaled by any other lens material. UV Gard™ lenses offer superior heat and chemical resistance, providing a lens that will not warp, crack or craze when combined with today's new frame materials.
The fashion lens that meets performance standards.
SOLA Sunlens strict controls over the manufacturing process produce consistent curve thickness from lens to lens, time after time. UV Gard™ lenses beat the competition in maintaining center thickness control which results in a finer profile lens and exceptional frame cosmetics.
UV Gard™ lenses are compatible with our performance coatings. UV Gard™ lenses provide a stable base for AR, mirror and scratch resistant coatings that improves adhesion to prevent peeling, cracking and crazing.
UV Gard™ lenses meet or exceed international standards for impact resistance and block 100% of the damaging UV light.
