CR-39 (plastic): The advantages of plastic is that it is lightweight and easily tinted to just about any color. One of the disadvantages is that those lenses scratch easily. If you are rough on your glasses we would then recommend a scratch coated the coating cost $15.00 and it makes the lens surface 10-15 times harder to scratch.

High index 1.56: Thinner and lighter than regular plastic good for higher prescriptions. Can easily tinted into sunglasses. Also recommend scratch coating on these lenses. 

High index 1.60: Thinner and lighter than 1.56 high index. These lenses already come with a scratch coat. Great choice for higher prescriptions. 

High index 1.66: Thinner and lighter than 1.60. These lenses already come with scratch coating. Also a great choice for high prescriptions.

Polycarbonate: Thinner than CR-39 and is commonly used for safety glasses. Always recommended for children. One major problem it is not easily tinted.

Glass: One major advantage is that it is very scratch resistant. However it is double the weight of conventional plastic. Also it is not as shatter resistant or safe as plastic. Can easily be tinted.

Polarized Lenses: These lenses are great by the water or for driving. A good example of how these lenses work. While driving in your car you often see the glare of the dashboard or if you have a white piece of paper on the dashboard for example you see its reflection off the windshield. Having a polarized lens virtually eliminates this reflection and all of this type of glare (horizontal glare). These lenses are laminated and have a polarizing film in side the lens they are available in gray or brown. They are also available in plastic, polycarbonate or glass.

How do I pick my sunglasses or eyeglasses: If you have an old pair you can use those as a guide. The eye size and bridge size are usually located (written) on the temple or the bridge. If you can find these measurements you can measure it yourself using a millimeter ruler. The eye size is the horizontal measurement of the lens. The bridge is the distance between the lenses. When measuring try to stay in the center of the lens for both measurements. You may be off 1-4 millimeters however at least you will have an idea. Also remember we do have a 30 money back guarantee on all frames and non RX sunglasses. By following these simple tips this should be able to help you choose a model that will fit properly.
