Introduction

Ophthalmic lenses have evolved beyond simple vision correction to include features like UV protection, blue light filtration, and scratch resistance.
Demand for sustainable coatings is growing in the optical industry.
Chitosan, a natural polysaccharide derived from crustacean shells, is a promising sustainable alternative to traditional synthetic coatings.
Chitosan has various biomedical and ophthalmic applications: bacterial adhesion reduction, fog effect elimination, and UV protection.

Background of the Study

CR-39 lenses are popular due to their lightweight and impact resistance.
Traditional coatings have environmental concerns due to being non-biodegradable and harmful.
Chitosan, with its biodegradable and non-toxic nature, is a promising alternative.
The study aims to evaluate chitosan's effectiveness in providing scratch resistance, reducing environmental impact, and overall suitability.
The study involves extensive field testing of chitosan-treated CR-39 lenses under various conditions.

Specific Objectives

Determine chitosan powder's ability to create scratch-resistance coating.
Formulate and optimize chitosan-based coating for enhanced lens performance.
Test coated lenses under various conditions (heat, wiping) to evaluate adhesion quality and durability.

Hypothesis

Null Hypothesis (H₀): Chitosan powder is not an effective material in scratch resistance coatings for CR-39 Ophthalmic Lenses.
Alternative Hypothesis (H₁): Chitosan powder is an effective material in scratch resistance coatings for CR-39 Ophthalmic Lenses.

Significance of the Study

Benefits the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
Supports the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR).
Provides additional livelihood for fishermen and fisheries.
Improves the environment of optical laboratories, optometrists, and future researchers in the optics field.
Offers a valuable resource on sustainable practices.

Limitations

Sampling technique may not represent the entire CR-39 market.
Laboratory testing may not reflect real-world conditions and user handling.
Instrument accuracy may affect the reliability of the results.

Delimitations

Focuses specifically on CR-39 lenses, evaluating chitosan powder as a coating.
Excludes other biopolymers or chemical modifications.
Only evaluates scratch resistance, optical clarity, adhesion, and durability.
Confined to controlled conditions, not real-world, long-term exposure.
