Hoya Vision’s Guide to Choosing the Right Lens Material for Fashion Glasses

Introduction

Choosing the right lens material for your fashion glasses can be overwhelming. There are so many options available, each with their own set of advantages and disadvantages. This is why Hoya Vision has created a guide to help you understand the different types of lenses and to assist you in making an informed decision.

Types of Lenses

1. Polycarbonate Lenses

Polycarbonate lenses are a popular choice for fashion glasses due to their impact resistance and lightweight properties. They are up to 10 times more impact resistant than regular plastic lenses, making them a good choice for active individuals or those who work in hazardous environments. Polycarbonate lenses are also thinner than regular plastic lenses, providing a sleeker appearance.

2. High-Index Lenses

If you have a high prescription, then high-index lenses may be a good choice for your fashion glasses. High-index lenses are made from materials that have a higher refractive index than regular plastic lenses, meaning that they can bend light more efficiently. This results in thinner and lighter lenses that are more comfortable to wear. High-index lenses come in a variety of thicknesses, so they can be tailored to your specific prescription.

3. Trivex Lenses

Trivex lenses are similar to polycarbonate lenses in terms of impact resistance and lightweight properties. However, they also have superior optics, making them a popular choice for people who need precise vision correction. Trivex lenses are also resistant to scratches and have UV protection built in, making them a good choice for outdoor activities.

Factors to Consider

When choosing the right lens material for your fashion glasses, there are several factors to consider:

• Prescription strength: If you have a high prescription, then high-index lenses may be the best option for you.
• Lifestyle: If you lead an active lifestyle or work in a hazardous environment, then polycarbonate or Trivex lenses may be a good choice.
• Visual needs: If you need precise vision correction, then Trivex lenses may be the best option.
• Budget: Each type of lens material has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to weigh these against your budget.
