Mineral glass lenses
Mineral glass lenses are a type of hybrid glass lens that is half the weight and stronger than normal glass. The lenses of mineral glass sunglasses are more resistant to scratches and distortions, meaning that mineral lens sunglasses can provide greater clarity of vision. Mineral glass prescription lenses are also available from some opticians.
