Eyeglass lenses could be made of nearly any plastic or glass. For example, some glasses lens, such as my own, are made of a plastic called polycarbonate which is the material used to make bulletproof glass so my glasses are impact resistant. Other eyeglass lenses can be made from other plastics and glasses such as CR-39, Homopolyer and crown glass.

How do eyeglass prescriptions work and determine the correct lenses needed for vision correction?

Eyeglass prescriptions work by measuring the refractive error of the eye, which is the difference between the actual shape of the eye and the ideal shape for clear vision. This measurement is expressed in diopters, which indicate the strength of the lens needed to correct the vision. The prescription includes values for the spherical power, cylindrical power, and axis, which together determine the correct lenses needed for vision correction.
