3🧪 What Is This Mysterious Liquid Used to Make Eyeglasses? 👓✨
If you’ve ever seen eyeglass lenses being made, you might notice a clear liquid being poured into a mold. So, what is that stuff?
🔍 It’s usually a type of liquid polymer resin, such as CR-39 or polycarbonate, which starts out as a thick, clear liquid. Once poured into lens molds, it's cured using UV light or heat, hardening into a transparent, lightweight, and durable lens.
💡 Why use liquid instead of just cutting glass?
It’s lighter and shatter-resistant
It can be custom-shaped for prescriptions
It works better with modern coatings (like anti-glare or blue light filters)
The science behind your glasses is way cooler than it looks, right? 🤓
From liquid to lenses—vision science at its finest.
