Lightweight Eyeglass Lenses
This is because they offer completely protection from UV rays, sharper central vision, and sharper peripheral vision. This particular characteristic is effective with rimless frames or drill mount eyewear. HIGH-INDEX – thin, lightweight lenses that absorb 100% of the sun’s UV light. These lenses are great for people who need stronger prescriptions because they are flatter and reduce the “bug eye” effect. POLYCARBONATE – thin, impact resistant lenses offering 100% protection from UV light making these lenses ideal for children. These impact-resistant lenses certainly are a good choice if you play sports, work where your eyeglasses could easily get damaged, or have kids that are tough on the specs.
- Trivex lens materials have a Abbe Value of 45, which is greater than polycarbonate and all high index plastic lens material.
Another significant advantage of these lenses is they are impact resistant. It’s important to notice that impact resistant will not mean shatterproof.
- This urethane-based pre-polymer substance has three primary benefits for eyeglass lenses.
- The frames and lenses are developed, produced and assembled under one roof in Linz according to the strictest quality standards.
- And this is not only an issue that affects children or athletes.
It has the ultraviolet blocking properties and shatter resistant properties of polycarbonate. However, Trivex lenses have a much higher abbe value (43-45) vs. polycarbonate making it much better in optical clarity with fewer chromatic aberrations.
Anti-reflective coating—reduces reflections, allowing more light to pass through your lenses for better clarity, especially at night.
For very high prescriptions it could not be “thin enough” and the optics aren’t as good as a specialized high index material. They have an increased index of refraction than CR-39, which means they refract light better. You can choose high-index plastic lenses even when you require a strong prescription.
