Should you still consider GLASS lenses??? | Zeiss Binoculars Showcase | Vintage Frames 

timeremember, everyone used glass lenses forever for a long time. Plastic/Poly is alll pretty new. Sports, Dr's, Drivers, Racers, etc all used glass for decades. I was hit on a bicycle with mineral glass lenses on and hit my face straight on the ground. One lens shattered. They are normally 'shatterproof' glass so they do not splinter but break into 'chunks' instead as mine did. I had no harm done. ;-) To this day I seek out Glass as nothing can compare to that clarity. Not even close. ;-)

I should mention these Zeiss binoculars are 22 years old!

Paying a premium for a plastic lens every two years or keeping your glass for a lifetime and just changing frames. fitting and grinding glass isn't a challenge for a new styled frame or ordering new lenses for new frame keeping original as second pair . Wore glass 50 years wore plastic 6 months ! the safety of shattered glass issue isn't a issue plastic lenses cause more impairment to vision while driving with all the scratches and never getting them clean enough especially for any night driving. 1000% mark up on frames and plastic lenses for me returning to glass is a wiser investment

Thanks so much for your video. I am currently looking for glass lenses, and they are getting extremely difficult to find. The opticians that do carry them tell me glass is extremely dangerous and they highly recommend against it. Is there any truth to the dangerous claim for every day wear? I could see not for sports as you mentioned but for normal use?

Really cool seeing those outdoor shots in the Lake District. That Anglo American frame from the film looked cool. I guess for those with an iscription and who want the best vision possible, Zeiss glass is the way to do it! Really interesting video 👍

Frankly (after hearing what you said about i.Scription) if you were in Italy, even in the part of Italy farthest from mine, I'd have come to your shop to have my vision measured, and my eye-glasses set. Are the DuraVision Platinum & the anti-blue-light treatment undoable on glass lenses? You didn't talk specifically of those 2.

Glad I found your channel 😊…. New subscriber here 👋 and new optician … I love all your contents, very helpful and informative. Thanks for all the information!

Interesting... I'm a surgical trainee with -11 Rx. I've gone for Zeiss Individual 1.74. Might have to look at glass at some point! How does the AR coating compare?

@thespectaclefactory is hoya "my SV" about the same as Zeiss clearview/energize me? (the freeform tech for single vision)

Hoping no one noticed my unbuttoned shirt...

I was just told by Zeiss cust service that Zeiss stopped doing glass for eyeglasses. Is this true?

Sir, I feel severe headache when I wear my spectacle. Prescription is of 6/6 vision. Can my problem be solved by glass lenses.

7:51 IT’S NOT A COOL NEW TECHNOLOGY IT’S SO OD YOU NEED NEW GLASSES EVERY DAY IN NEWBIE GAINS AND THEY PROBABLY COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS Yeah nah -0.25 is small enough. Some people even reduce by -0.5 but -0.25 is easier like NottNott said Idk it depends but -0.01 is way too small of an increment it’s literally 100 meters away 8:09 And that bus there is probably 2 meters, so -0.5. That’s literally a horrible example

Could glass lenses work in conjunction with my clip-ons? Would they offer better clarity and less reflections? I find my DriveSafe work well with my clip-ons, but I do occasionally notice some reflections? Thanks Rob👍

Is a glass lens roughly double the weight of a plastic one? Is the prescription you talk about at the end (eyescription) what’s known as “freeform”? And does the abbe value drop with a high index glass lens at high prescription (I’m about a -6)? Thank you for the video

Hello and thanks for this very good video. I have been considering to get a glass lens for my next glasses, but i dont know what kind of coatings or technologies can be applied to a glass. I read things like umbramatic and some more, but really there is no info about what they are and uses. If its too much to answer here i would love to contact you some way. And I definitely want a zeiss lenses. Thank you.

Gotta say I didn’t expect that from Ziess lenses

My Ray Ban aviators all have glass lenses. And I do agree that it does look and feel better than plastic lenses. For anything else. I prefer polycarbonate.

I am really considering get some glasses lenses, do you think some sph glass perform better that clearview lens?

Very nice video. Which models of Zeiss lenses are made of glass?

Oh one more thing. Can glass lenses be made in a round/ oval shape?

Do you think a pair of lenses can be made really really thin like a piece of paper

The images through the binoculars are something else!

East Asian faces, best frames ideas

Sony Xperia 1 Mark || is the winner of the camera business because he uses the best Zeiss lenses at the moment

Can we get progressives in glass?
