Feel free to be as technical as you like. I have a master's degree in electrical engineering and have worked for 30 years with physicists, astronomers and Optical engineers.
I've skied for 57 years with cylindrical lenses and never noticed any glare or distortion.
Admittedly, you've pointed out a problem in one of our graphics. I believe the idea that was trying to be conveyed was in regards to a toric lens having more surface area than a purely cylindrical lens, but that should not have any effect on UV penetration. This blog will be added to our to-do list for revision; thank you for pointing that out! Also, when it comes to glare and distortion with a cylindrical lens, again, it must be admitted that the differences are minor. Many people find that there is no perceivable difference, but there are some with light sensitivities that have noticed differences in optical quality between different lens designs. Thank you again for your input!
