Where these two actually differ
- We flag Optical degradation and UV yellowing and Crazing and stress cracking from solvents on the 3M and not on the B+W.
- The 3M is polycarbonate lens where the B+W is Optical glass lens with multi-coated optical surfaces, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
