MR^TM: The lens material favoured by eyeglass makers

MR^TM by Mitsui Chemicals India has many distinct properties that make it the most sought-after lens material. It is made by a unique polymerization methodology that facilitates adding functions like control of specific wavelengths or photochromic properties by blending special dyes possible.

1. High Refractive Index

• MR^TM brand of lenses is available in three distinct refractive indexes, namely, 1.60,1.6 and 1.74. Due to this feature, manufactuing of thinner and lighter lenses is easier.

2. Strength

• MR^TM lenses have high impact resistance and static load resistance, making them extremely safe for regular use. These lenses have cleared the US FDA’s drop ball test and the butterfly test for rimless frames.

3. Durability

• They are resistant to weather conditions, heat, UV radiation, and abrasion. This way, the lens coating does not peel off and the surface also does not suffer chipping, even after long-term usage.

4. Abee Number

• Abbe number indicates the degree of dispersion of light. As the Abbe number increases, there is less dispersion of light, resulting in reduced chromatic aberration. This improves viewing comfort.

5. Thin & Light

• Generally, for higher optical powers, eyeglass makers use thicker glasses. But, since high-index lenses like MR^TM can bend light more efficiently, they are thinner and extremely lighter. This way, they are highly comfortable for the user.

6. Strain Free

• MR^TM offers minimal stress-strain and thereby provides strain-free vision. This is because of the uniform polymerization of the glass mold of MR^TM resin.

1. It is used in the manufacture of single and progressive ophthalmic lenses. The processability of MR^TM lenses enables them to be made into any design.

• 2. MR^TM lenses are used in tinted sunglasses as they have high stability features.
• 3. They are extremely suitable for making polarized sunglasses.
• 4. They are suitable for manufacturing sophisticated eyeglasses like rimless frames or high-curve lenses.
• 5. MR^TM lenses are used in making aspherical lenses where a high degree of precision is needed.

Choosing lens materials is a crucial task, and opticians prefer sturdy, long-lasting lenses that also offer stellar clarity. To choose the best high-index lens material, they consider the following:

●      Abbe Number: Opticians opt for lenses with high Abbe number as they allow lower dispersion of light. This is suitable for making high-clarity lenses that are comfortable to wear.

●     Resistance to cracking: When exposed to pressure or shock, lens material should stay tough and must not crack. The lens material should be able to deform without chipping.

●     Resistance to abrasion: Scratch or abrasion resistance guarantees long life for lenses; therefore, it is another quality that opticians look for in lens materials.

The search for high-quality high-index lens material ends with MR^TM. Being made from one-of-a-kind material, Mitsui Chemicals stands as a pioneer in offering enhanced visual experience for users. These lenses are not only multi purpose, but also add more value to the users and the environment. With amazing qualities, MR^TM eyeglass lenses are the most preferred by eyeglass manufacturers.

Q1: What makes MR^TM high-index lenses revolutionary?

A1: MR^TM lenses are revolutionary due to their composition of thiourethane resin, offering unprecedented durability and impact resistance. Additionally, they boast unique features such as high refractive index, strength, durability, high Abbe number, thinness, and strain-free vision, making them stand out in the eyeglass lens market.

Q2: How does MR^TM differ from traditional lens materials?

A2: MR lenses are distinguished by their composition of thiourethane resin, which grants them exceptional durability and impact resistance. Traditional lens materials may lack these qualities, making MR lenses a superior choice for eyeglass wearers seeking both reliability and visual clarity.

Q3: What are the key features of MR^TM lenses?

A3: The key features of MR^TM lenses include high refractive index, strength, durability, high Abbe number, thinness, and strain-free vision. These qualities collectively contribute to an enhanced visual experience and long-term comfort for users.

Q4: What are the types of lenses made with high-index MR^TM?

A4: High-index MR^TM lenses include the environmentally conscious Do Green^TM range, certified by the USDA as a biobased product, and the NeoContrast^TM lenses, equipped with light wave control technology to reduce glare and enhance color perception.

Q5: What are the applications of MR^TM lenses?

A5: MR^TM lenses find applications in various eyewear products, including single and progressive ophthalmic lenses, tinted sunglasses, polarized sunglasses, sophisticated eyeglasses like rimless frames, high-curve lenses, and aspherical lenses requiring precision.

Q6: How do opticians choose high-index lenses?

A6: Opticians prioritize several factors when selecting high-index lenses, including Abbe number, resistance to cracking, and resistance to abrasion. MR^TM lenses from Mitsui Chemicals excel in all these areas, making them a preferred choice for opticians seeking quality and durability.
