Hoya Vision’s Guide to Choosing the Right Lens Material for Military Eyewear
The Importance of Choosing the Right Lens Material for Military Eyewear
Military eyewear is an essential component of a soldier’s gear. It needs to provide clear and accurate vision in all environments, from bright sunlight to low-light situations. A soldier’s vision can be the difference between life and death. Therefore, selecting the right lens material is crucial to ensuring their safety and success in the field.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Lens Material
There are several factors to consider when selecting the right lens material for military eyewear. These include:
-
Impact Resistance:
Military personnel are often subjected to high-velocity impacts from shrapnel and debris. Therefore, it’s essential to choose a lens material that can withstand these impacts without shattering or cracking.
-
Optical Clarity:
The lens material should be clear and free from any visual distortions or aberrations. This will allow for accurate vision and quick target acquisition.
-
UV Protection:
Military personnel often operate in environments with high levels of UV radiation. Therefore, the lens material should provide adequate protection against harmful UV rays.
-
Weight:
Military personnel carry a lot of gear, and every ounce counts. The lens material should be lightweight to minimize fatigue and reduce the strain on the soldier’s neck and face.
