Advancements In Safety Glasses Include Toughened Lenses
Chicago engineers describe several lens types for protection. Case hardened lenses endure a 9.5 mm steel ball dropped from 50 inches, while stress hardened lenses resist higher impacts with about twice the strength of standard lenses. Laminated lenses, akin to windshields, offer greater safety at higher cost and cracking risk, aiding accident prone individuals and athletes.
