Acrylic lenses are made of a form of plastic called polymethyl methacrylate, commonly shortened to PMMA. This plastic material is known for its clarity, durability, and scratch resistance, making it an excellent choice for a variety of optical and camera lens applications.
In addition to its optical properties, acrylic lenses can be produced in a wide range of colors, allowing for customization of lens designs. Additionally, being made of a synthetic plastic material, acrylic lenses are often lighter and more affordable than traditional glass lens materials.
