Hoya Vision’s Guide to Choosing the Right Lens Material for Prescription Military Goggles with Progressive Lenses

Introduction

If you are in the military or a first responder, then you know how important it is to have the right gear to protect you while you are on the job. This includes everything from your body armor to your eye protection. When it comes to eye protection, prescription military goggles with progressive lenses are a popular choice for many people. However, choosing the right lens material for your goggles can be challenging. That is why Hoya Vision has put together this guide to help you make an informed decision.

Important considerations

Before we get into the specific lens materials, there are a few important considerations to keep in mind when choosing your prescription military goggles with progressive lenses:

• The type of work you will be doing and the level of protection you need
• Your prescription requirements
• Your budget

Lens materials

Now that you have considered the above factors, let’s take a look at the different lens materials available for prescription military goggles.

1. Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate lenses are a popular choice for prescription military goggles because they are impact-resistant and lightweight. They are also affordable, making them a great option for those on a tight budget. However, polycarbonate lenses are not scratch-resistant, so you may need to replace them more frequently than other materials.

2. Trivex

Trivex lenses are similar to polycarbonate lenses in that they are impact-resistant and lightweight. However, trivex lenses provide better optical clarity than polycarbonate lenses, making them a great choice if you need to see fine details. They are also scratch-resistant, so they will last longer than polycarbonate lenses. However, trivex lenses can be more expensive than polycarbonate lenses.

3. High-index plastic

High-index plastic lenses are a great choice if you have a strong prescription. They are thinner and lighter than other materials, which can make them more comfortable to wear. However, high-index plastic lenses can be more expensive than other materials.

Conclusion

Choosing the right lens material for your prescription military goggles with progressive lenses is important for your safety and comfort. Consider the type of work you will be doing, your prescription requirements, and your budget when deciding on a lens material. Whether you choose polycarbonate, trivex, or high-index plastic, make sure to take good care of your goggles by keeping them clean and protected when not in use.
