The
overall quality of your AR lens is only as good as
your AR coating AND your base lens material. That's
why COLOR FREE AR — The Invisible Lens™ uses
two-time OLA award-winning RESOLUTION® lenses as
its base lens material.
The Difference is in the Manufacturing
Process, Not the Lens Material
While other polycarbonate lenses
may look the same, to the naked eye, put them under
polarized film and the difference becomes very apparent.
The photos above tell the story better than words
alone. The fact is that all the color you see represents "stress".
Stress is produced by the injection compression processes
used by all the other polycarbonate lens manufacturers
to make their lenses. The RESOLUTION® difference
is that it uses a patent-pending process ECM-9™ (Extrusion
Compression Molding) technology. It is a gentle process
that does not introduce any stress into the lens.
The result is a near-perfect optical lens, virtually
free of any birefringence or stress.
Why Birefringence
in a Lens Matters
Birefringence matters because these "stresses" directly
correlate to optical defects. And these defects are
significant. Tests by a world-renowned optical design
and engineering firm proved
that "birefringence found in other polycarbonate
lenses causes resolution loss so great that any power
correction becomes irrelevant". They also found
power variations so extreme they far exceeded accepted
manufacturing tolerances.

Accurate
Resolution, True Power Correction and Distortion-Free
Optics
Once again, pictures tell the story.
The actual diagrams, by the same optical design and
engineering firm, are overlaid on the photos (shown
in the right column) to scale. As you can see, the
RESOLUTION® lens has virtually no loss of resolution,
while the "other" polycarbonate lens has
only a small area free of resolution loss. When it
comes to power variation, the RESOLUTION® lens
is accurate to .01 throughout the entire lens. The "other" polycarbonate
has a extended perimeter of power loss that goes
from a .2 to an astonishing .7. These differences
are not trivial. Bear in mind that even a .25 correction,
in a prescription, can make a huge difference in
your vision.
