When are you going to offer a clear polarized lens? |
 |
| |
It is not possible to make a clear polarized lens. The Iodine crystals in the polarized film are aligned in parallel rows like a venetian blind to block light in one direction. This is why you cannot have a clear polarizer; if the crystals were clear, they could not do their job blocking light in a specific direction. |

|
How do I check the polarized axis? |
|
| |
Younger offers an axis alignment gauge, complimentary to eyecare professionals. Please contact Younger Optics' customer service department or your sales representative to receive one. |

|
How dark are NuPolar lenses? |
|
| |
Our Gray 1 product is our lightest lens, with about 35% luminous transmittance. Our other NuPolar lenses are darker, and transmit about 15 - 20% of visible light. |
|
|
Can I tint NuPolar lenses? |
|
| |
Yes, because the film is cast inside the lens, you can tint a NuPolar lens just as you would any other ophthalmic lens. |
|
|
Can I AR coat NuPolar lenses? |
|
| |
Yes. |
|
|
What is the minimum CT/ ET for NuPolar lenses? |
|
| |
The minimum thickness for NuPolar hard resin is 1.8mm, except for hard resin Image, in which the minimum thickness is 2.0mm.
In polycarbonate, the minimum recommended thickness is 1.7mm. |
|
|
Do NuPolar lenses protect against UV? |
|
| |
Yes. All NuPolar lenses block 100% UVA and UVB as defined by US and European standards. |
|
|
What is the difference between a polarized lens and an ordinary tinted lens? |
|
| |
Whereas an ordinary tinted lens strictly reduces brightness, polarized lenses reduce visual "noise" and do what no other lens or lens treatment can... block blinding glare. |
|
|
Can I get NuPolar in finished SV? |
|
| |
Yes. Plano NuPolar lenses are available only in finished single vision. This is because NuPolar lenses are polarized and therefore must be on the 180° axis line at all times. It is available in multiple base curves in semi-finished single vision to match the Rx needs of the patient. |
|
|
Do you have a processing guide for NuPolar? |
|
| |
