Hoya Vision’s Guide to Choosing the Right Lens Material for Tactical Eyewear
Tactical Eyewear: Why Lens Material is Important
If you’re in the market for tactical eyewear, you know that there’s more to it than just picking out a cool-looking frame. Choosing the right lens material can make all the difference in how well your eyewear performs in a variety of scenarios.
At Hoya Vision, we make a range of lens materials specifically designed for tactical applications. Here’s what you need to know:
Hoya Vision’s Lens Materials
Polycarbonate
Polycarbonate is one of our most popular lens materials for tactical eyewear, and for good reason. It’s incredibly impact-resistant, making it ideal for use in high-risk environments like combat, shooting, and sports. In addition, polycarbonate lenses are also lightweight and thin, which can make a big difference in terms of comfort over extended periods of use.
Trivex
Trivex is another one of our top-performing lens materials for tactical applications. Like polycarbonate, it’s lightweight and impact-resistant. However, trivex lenses also offer a higher level of optical clarity, making them an excellent choice for precision work like sniping or marksmanship.
High-Index
For those who need a corrective lens prescription, our high-index materials may be the best choice. These materials allow for thinner, lighter lenses for high-precision vision correction in a tactical environment. We offer a range of high-index materials to suit different prescription strengths and application needs.
Choosing the Right Lens Material
So how do you know which lens material is right for you? Consider the following factors:
- Use Case: What activities will you be engaging in while wearing your eyewear? If you’re in a high-risk environment, polycarbonate or trivex may be the best choice.
- Prescription Strength: If you need a corrective lens prescription, our high-index materials may be the best choice.
- Optical Clarity: If precision work is involved, trivex or other high-clarity materials may be preferred.
- Budget: While all of our lens materials are designed for performance, some may be more budget-friendly than others depending on your needs.
Ultimately, the right lens material for you will depend on your unique needs and application. At Hoya Vision, we’re proud to offer a wide range of lens materials designed specifically for tactical eyewear. By considering your needs and using our guide, you’ll be sure to find the perfect lens for your needs.
