Bamboo and its characteristics in sunglasses

For many, it is important to protect their vision from the UV rays emitted by the sun; therefore, over the years, multiple industries dedicated to the manufacture of sunglasses have improved their formulas to guarantee greater protection.

The same applies to the materials used, ensuring a better frame without harming the environment. Therefore, sunglasses with wooden frames have become more popular than conventional ones, maintaining the casual, original, or daring style of each customer.

In the following article, you will learn what bamboo is, its main characteristics, and the benefits of using lenses made from this material, as well as the ideal way to use them.

What is bamboo?

Bamboo (Bambusoideae) is a plant of Indian and Asian origin, although it is also cultivated in South America and Africa. It belongs to the Poaceae family and can grow from just a few centimeters to 60 meters in height, depending on its variety and the region where it is grown.

It is usually a vibrant green color when fresh, with a tough bark that is often used for decoration or the manufacture of certain objects. Bamboo is generally harvested and then cured or dried to obtain bamboo wood as a raw material.

Bamboo is a versatile plant that's not only used for decoration; some varieties can be eaten, and others are used as ingredients in the cosmetics industry thanks to their firming, exfoliating, and regenerative properties. Today, we even see it in bamboo toothbrushes.

Characteristics of bamboo

The bamboo plant is recognized worldwide as one of the most useful natural resources since ancient times, given its many uses, which stem from its unique characteristics. Below, we present some characteristics of bamboo:

1. It is natural and biodegradable

As a resource extracted from nature and because it is a plant, bamboo is a natural and biodegradable resource, meaning it takes between 3 and 6 years to decompose without harming the environment.

2. It has high resistance and stability

Bamboo wood has the characteristics of being resistant and waterproof, that is, it can be used both for the manufacture of domestic objects, decorative objects, among others, as well as to contain water or other types of liquids for a long time, and its stability guarantees that it retains its shape.

3. It's easy to work with.

In its fresh state, bamboo can be shaped for use as a raw material in crafting objects. It is a relatively hard material, but it can be worked with woodworking tools.

What are the benefits of using bamboo wood lenses?

Bamboo sunglasses are ideal for those who want to look stylish, protect their vision, and at the same time be environmentally conscious with wooden frames that aren't easy to find in Peruvian opticians. Here are some of the benefits of using bamboo sunglasses:

1. They contribute to the preservation of the environment

Global warming, the use of iron and plastic as common materials for lens manufacturing, along with other resources that take years to degrade, are problems that can be avoided if they are replaced by biodegradable materials that do not interfere with the object's final function.

In this sense, bamboo has the quality of being a natural resource with a high capacity to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), therefore, the implementation of this plant in daily life directly favors the preservation of the environment and the productive restoration of ecosystems.

Since it is a plant, its production, harvesting and large-scale consumption, especially in the new optical industry, must be responsible and conscious, taking into account that the environment where this plant grows and develops must be respected.

2. They protect your eyesight

The versatility of bamboo, which can be molded into different shapes, makes it easy to adapt to lenses that protect the eyes from the sun. Frames not readily available in Peruvian opticians, these wooden lenses are designed as polarized lenses to guarantee greater protection against the sun's rays.

3. They prevent allergies caused by synthetic materials

Materials like iron and plastic can fade, bend, and even cause allergies. Bamboo glasses, on the other hand, have the advantage of being made from natural resources, making them free from allergies, corrosion, and deterioration.

4. They are lightweight and comfortable

One of the qualities of wooden glasses available in various optical shops in Peru is that they are lightweight and comfortable. This is thanks to bamboo, a lightweight yet durable material that can be molded to create sunglasses for men or women that can be worn for extended periods.

5. Its structure is strong and durable.

Given that lenses must be made of solid materials to ensure they do not lose their shape or rigidity, wooden lenses have become an excellent option that resists and lasts thanks to their fibrous anatomy.

Bamboo is considered one of the strongest and most durable materials found in nature. The stem is commonly used to make the frame of eyeglasses.

6. They adapt to the face

Wooden glasses for men or women adapt to all types of faces, giving a fresh, casual and above all unique style that stands out above conventional plastic or iron glasses.

7. Its price is affordable.

Generally, good sunglasses tend to be expensive due to the various manufacturing and production processes involved with synthetic materials. Bamboo sunglasses stand out from the rest as affordable accessories that fulfill the main function of conventional sunglasses.

How to properly use bamboo wood glasses?

Like any accessory or personal item, these glasses should be cared for by following simple tips that will prolong their lifespan. Below are some recommendations for using bamboo wood glasses:

1. Avoid getting them wet frequently

While it is true that bamboo is a water-resistant material, it is recommended that the glasses be kept in a cool, dry place and above all avoid submerging or frequently getting them wet.

In the case of women's sunglasses, contact with beauty products, makeup, and other substances can damage the bridge that holds the glasses to the nose. It is recommended that bamboo sunglasses be carefully cleaned after each use.

2. Store them after using them

To avoid scratches on the glass and damage to the bamboo frame of your glasses, we advise you to store them in their case after use; this will also keep them protected from dust and moisture.

3. Avoid exposing them to very high or low temperatures for long periods of time.

As it is a material of natural origin, overexposure to high or low temperatures for prolonged periods should be avoided, since the structure could deform, lose rigidity or deteriorate in a short time.

4. Wash the windows with water and mild soap.

If you wish to clean the lenses of your wooden glasses, we recommend using water and a little mild soap. Afterwards, dry the lenses with a microfiber cloth, if possible.
