Lenses are pieces of glass with curved sides, which are used for concentrating or dispersing rays of light. They are widely used in the manufacturing of spectacles to rectify vision impairments and to protect the eyes from environmental pollutants such as wind, debris, and UV rays. In addition to this, they help to adjust the amount of light that enters the eye and are available in numerous forms, depending on the consumer requirements and the degree of the defect in the eye. Consumers have the option of customizing the spectacles by adding different kinds of coatings on the lens, such as scratch-resistant, anti-reflective, blue-light reduction and UV protection.
