Yes, \"formula\" means \"chemical compound\" or \"mixture\".

So, what you have here is a formula (chemical compound) that you dissolve in water and apply to the lenses to absorb ultraviolet radiation. This keeps the UV from passing through the lenses into your eyes and causing damage.

lucent


Explanation:
It means "UV-400 nm lucetn glass/plastic formula". In the product ", the word "conptisition", "formulation", "ingredient", etc are use. On the other hand at the marerial stage, "formula", "parts" etc. are use.

The word lucent seems to be good word to give an idea of the meaning. For example, "X-ray lucent marerial" meand clear to X-ray. "Clea" maend ins this case, "there is no signigicant absorption can be detected".

Clear formula = "The formula for lucent ......"
