What are sunglass lenses made of?
Sunglass lenses are made of a variety of materials. The earliest mass-produced sunglasses from the 1930s and ’40s typically feature lenses crafted out of glass. However, more recent vintage and contemporary pairs often have polycarbonate or acrylic lenses for increased durability and scratch resistance. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of sunglasses.
