Aoker sunglasses
The first point is the observation of the lenses, to see if there are scratches, impurities, bubbles and stripe; to check the outer packaging of sunglasses, sunglasses should be marked with the formal name, color, diameter, quality levels, manufacturer and trademarks. The lenses or tags marked with anti-UVA, UVB and CE can ensure to block UV to some extent.

The second is to try on sunglasses to see if there is no dizziness, headache feeling. In current market there are some sunglasses marked with degrees for sale, but because of pupillary distance and other indicators vary, so if there is no professional guidance, the consumer would better not to choose these prescription sunglasses.

Third, handle sunglasses’ two angles onto a fluorescent lamp, let the mirror’s reflective surface scroll, if find specula reflection of sunlight lamp shadow appear wavy or twisted, it proves that the lens is not flat, this mirror will strain your eyes.

Fourth, to see if the lens is flat and clear. The sunglasses lenses material are mainly glass and resin. The best sunglasses lens is Polaroid. It can effectively filter out the reflected light and harmful ultraviolet radiation, and has features such as anti-crushing, guards against rubs.
Fifth, for sunglasses colors, except choosing as per the skin, face shape and wearing, but also according to access sites.

The sixth is to look at sunglasses lenses’ color depths. The color depths are divided into 15%、34%、50%、70%. Indoor and outdoor 15% can be worn; 34% for General outdoor environment; 50% for Sun and sea; 70itlectric welding and other special uses.

Seventh, to see if the sunglasses has a UV-resistant feature. Better to choose the lenses which has UV function. And the UV index should be between 96% and 98%.

Why acetate eyewear doesn’t in good shape?

1. The main cause of this issue is insufficient of heat acetate. It cause front and arms not fit the shape of a persons head. If insufficient of heat acetate, acetate eyewear, sunglasses will have some kinds of not good changes.

Acetate eyewear arms
–One change is that arms are too straight and do not have enough curve to fit the shape of a persons head.

Acetate eyewear front
–Other change that front too much curved inward and it makes arms very close to each other.
Too close between arms will causes the acetate eyewear very uncomfortable to wear for customer

–Another change is that front too straight and it makes arms very far away each other.
It causes the frame very uncomfortable to wear for customer

Aoker manufactory has detailed rules and addition steps for heating acetate.
The other manufactory doesn’t have time enough and addition steps for heating acetate compared with Aoker.

2. Maintain shape problem (it involves fix front, arms, arm opening size, screws tightness etc…)
Usually Maintain shape is processed by very skilled stuff. It is to make acetate eyewear in good shape and comfortable wear. But if insufficient of heat acetate, even if the stuff maintain shape perfectly, after a few time, the acetate eyewear must be loose shape quickly.

BTW, the acetate eyewear in folding condition in retail packing for a long time, it can cause right arm less curved than left arm. This is due to the gravity of acetate eyewear makes right arm less curved. So when maintain arms, right arm need curved a little bit more than left arms, in this way, the gravity of acetate eyewear will make the equal curve of arms. Aoker manufactory realized this issue.

Why Handmade acetate eyewear use CR39 lens

CR39 lens with high optical clarity and high abrasion resistance, yet half the weight of glass lens. CR39 material is widely used on prescription lens, as a premium optical grade lens, the price is high.

Is there any other lenses that is better?
No other lens that better than CR39 lens on handmade acetate eyewear, (Lens material range: AC,TAC, PC, Nylon, Mineral glass, CR39 lens)

Compared with mineral glasses lens, CR39 advantages as below :
Light transmittance
CR39 lens 92%
Glass lens 91%
CR39 better than Glass lens on light transmittance performance

Specific gravity
CR39 lens 1.32g/cm3
Glass lens 2.54g/cm3
CR39 half the weight of Glass lens

Drop ball testing(16g Steel ball 1.27m free-fall)
CR39 lens Not broken
Glass lens Broken
CR39 unbreakable than Glass lens

UVA&UVB protection
CR39 lens 390nm
Glass lens 290-300nm
CR39 provide 100% UVA and UVB protection, better than Glass lens

Refractive index
CR39 lens 1.502
Glass lens 1.523
The refractive index of CR39 lens equal with Glass lens

Thickness
CR39 lens 2.0mm
Glass lens 2.0mm

Atomization trend
CR39 lens better than Glass lens

Dyeing
CR39 lens  Easy colored
Glass lens Not easy colored

As a professional handmade acetate eyewear manufactory, we are using optical grade CR39 lens which pass EU, AU, UNITED STATES standards.

What’s the trend of metal eyewear?

With the development trend of personalized and fashion of eyewear industry, eyewear materials becoming various, new plastic eyewear, acetate eyewear constantly crowding out metal eyewear. From the earliest single plastic derived from PC, AC, Nylon, TR90, Plastic steel, and acetate, but the same, metal eyewear always been one of the mainstream materials for eyewear industry.

In traditional, metal eyewear mainly apply copper based alloys, nickel based alloys, stainless steel, titanium etc. broken down into the following categories: nickel silver eyewear, brass, 18% nickel, 25% nickel, 40% nickel, monel, stainless steel eyewear, titanium alloys, purely titanium, titanium memory etc.
sam_1667
From the development trend of eyewear, the foundation and leading role of metal eyewear is outstanding, from copper alloy metal application in the 90’s of the last century, the metal eyewear industry has great development and formed a diversified products. But traditional metal eyewear material such as copper alloy easy corrosion, stimulus skin body and cause allergy, although nickel alloy solved corrosion problem, the material is more heavy and press nose, to solution above problems, more security, and more light, and more durable and more comfortable new metal material today became the trend of metal eyewear. For example: titanium, premium stainless steel eyewear.
