ABOUT RANDOLPH SUNGLASS LENSES
Randolph uses only the highest quality glass available for their sunglass lenses. Their lenses are designed for maximum UV absorption and glare reduction. Not only that, but every lens is chem-tempered to resist breakage. In fact, they test each lens by dropping a steel ball on it from 50 inches.

DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS:

Maximum UV Absorption (ANSI Z-803 standards):
Designed to help check harsh direct or indirect glare.
Premium U.S. Ophthalmic Crown
Glass:
Ground and polished to precise distortion-free standards.
Optimum Visible Transmittance:
Lens densities (darkness) allow only 10-18% of pass-through visible light; the ideal comfort level for most wearers.
Impact Resistant:
Every lens is chem-tempered to resist breakage, then drop-ball tested to meet FDA and ANSI standards.

WHY GLASS ?

Glass is one of the oldest and most flexible materials known to man.
Glass resists high temperature changes.
Glass is the most scratch-resistant lens material available.
Glass can be permanently colored. Once colored, it never changes.
Glass simply offers the widest range of lens products.
