LENS INDEXES:

Untitled-1 (1).jpg

Slightly thinner and more durable than 1.50, this lens type works well for prescriptions between ±2.00 and ±3.00. It offers a good balance between cost and performance for everyday use.

1.56 Index (Plastic)

These lenses are impact-resistant and lightweight, making them a great choice for children, sports use, or safety glasses. Ideal for prescriptions up to ±4.00, they also offer built-in UV protection.

1.59 Index (Polycarbonate)

Designed for higher prescriptions (±4.00 to ±8.00), these lenses are significantly thinner and lighter than lower-index options. They reduce lens bulge and edge thickness, making them more attractive and comfortable for strong prescriptions.

1.67 Index (Ultra High-Index)

The thinnest and lightest option available, 1.74 index lenses are ideal for very high prescriptions (above ±8.00). They provide the slimmest profile and best comfort without compromising optical quality with global use.

1.74 Index (Super High-Index)

LENS MATERIALS:

CR-39 (Plastic Lenses)

Also known as standard plastic, CR-39 lenses are lightweight and affordable with decent optical clarity. They are suitable for low prescriptions but can be thicker and less impact-resistant compared to other materials.

Polycarbonate

A popular choice for children’s glasses, safety eyewear, and sports frames, polycarbonate lenses are highly impact-resistant and lightweight. They also provide built-in UV protection but may have slightly lower optical clarity than CR-39.

High-Index Plastic

High-index plastic lenses are designed for stronger prescriptions. They are significantly thinner and lighter than standard plastic, offering improved comfort and a sleeker appearance, especially for people with high prescriptions.
